It's weird that a rotor company says that's a certain pad has problems when there are a ton of people using ct pads. I like them because my rotor wear has been very friendly with multiple xp12 (only tried one set of xp10). After track day I throw on oem pads for street. I never bed neither pad.

135i caliper and e46 rotor is a unique setup. I know the 135i front calipers look beefy but they could barely halt a 135i that great (my wife's car), which is pretty much same weight or less than m3.

The picture is unrelated to the pads in question as I understand the post.

They don't say Carbotech pads are a problem, they're responding to users who've had judder problems. Not like it's a big deal or anything, just use a different mfg's pad.

I don't care about rotor wear but the XP10 (pre-bedded by Carbotech) certainly are rotor friendly.

The 135i calipers work fine after upgrading the pistons, seals, and boots. It's been easy to get 1.2g braking deceleration with XP10 front and rear (stock rear calipers with solid guide pin bushings) and Toyo R1R tires. Brake fluid is Torque RT700.
