As for brakes on the m3 they are sh_t in comparison to its competition,and fair play to porsche and audi for getting it right.
the porsche cayman and gt3 both weigh about 1340kg and come equipped with 4 pot and 6 pot brakes as standard and these ar good enough for road and track use.
The audi rs4 gets 8 pot calipers and weigh in at around 1620kg so once again do the job on road and track.
On u tube under autocar m3 vs gt3 vs gtr chris harris uses his own m3 on the test and does an outlap to warm up and a timed lap and at then end of the timed lap the m3 s brakes had completely gone.chris harris is not the greatest driver of all time but an extremely competent tester on road and track.
For a car that weighs approx 1550kg and has a 414 bhp v8 under the bonnet but only gets the abismal excuse for breaks tha are on the m3 it is a p_ss take.
That said i love the new m3.
My discs were warped and have now been skimmed.They are soon to be upgraded to 380mm discs and the audi 8 pot calipers.
