Arrow Awesome Video on Why/How You Should Bed-in Your Brakes (Even for Street Cars)

(I was going to post this in the Track or Brakes sub-forum for the track junkies, but on second thought I think that all M3 owners should know this.)

Do your brakes squeal?
Do they not have enough bite?
Do they fade?
Do they vibrate/crack after the track?

Watch the video to find the answer:

Left: brake disc before bed-in. Right: brake disc after bed-in. Notice the blue-gray color.

Also an article on how to choose brake pads:

Note: these (AP Racing related) videos/links were actually originally posted by a StopTech employee on M3forum, that's how great they are
