I just think if you going to put a BBK on a M3 then you should at least be able to buy them from BMW themselves and keep it oem.

You have to change the pads for track driving. Stock pads clearly were never meant for that. You will see a major difference. I did, and am now rather happy with the stock brakes. Regardless, it is a heavy car, and you feel it. An aftermarket brake system will not change that...

I like the look of 4/6 piston calipers, but don't think i could ever justify the cost. The stock brakes work great on track with a good fluid, ss lines and most importantly a good set of track pads like PFC 01s or Pagid RS19s. Cooling ducts would help as well.
I still run my E36 M3 with stock calipers and rotors on track and am very happy with it. |

TE37s DO fit
I forgot about this post. As a matter of fact, it does. Check out my thread here. I have a set of 18x9.5" front 18x10.5 rear TE37s with BFG R1s. It is a tight fit, but it does fit and I confirmed with my rep @ Race Technologies that the clearance is adequate.
I'm planning on visiting my rep @ Mackin ASAP to test other Volk options. Bob
