Out of the five vendors that I checked with, two are able to source these for a price of $835-$860 USD for a set. Or about $970 after shipping from EU and/or tax.
They're pricey.

Back in 2008, they were $800 a set in Europe, and I could buy them from my friendly BMW dealer for twice that price. Buying them from the dealer was warranty neutral, but too expensive so I took a pass.

Check with EAS or bmminiparts.com. They can get them for half what BMW was charging you at the price I mention above.

Did you ever pull the trigger on these pads? By the way, BMW often changes the PNs of their parts (probably to unify internal database updates, etc), while the actual part itself remains the same. That might be the case with the discrepancy in rotor PNs that you and I have been able to find.

http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...23&hg=34&fg=07 Nevertheless, I did a few hard braking exercises and given they are still being bedded in it's hard to say conclusively if they are better than stock in various aspects. The initial bite does seem to be very good though, pedal depression seems shorter than stock if that makes sense, sounds strange but I get that sensation (as I was saying in my build thread its almost as if the brake pedal sits a bit lower now OR doesn't depress as much as it did previously). Will need to spend more time with them and I'll definitely come back to you with how they are doing.

At any rate, do let me know how you end up liking those brakes. I may try to sweet talk my dealership into swapping out my stock pads and rotors for these ones when it comes time to replace them under warranty.

and a long road trip in the hills and mountains, and they held up perfectly without noticeable brake fade. What I especially like is the increased pedal firmness, the decrease in pedal travel and the quicker bite response compared to stock. Downsides are the incredible amount of squeal when there isn't a layer of pad material on the discs, and yes they do dust quite a bit when they are in the abrasive temperature range. Also, they rumble over the cross drilled holes noticeably, but disappear once adhesive temperature range is achieved. |

Do you still recommend the RS29s? I would like to upgrade my pads to keep up with you guys on the track, but still need them usable for DD with little or no squealing... I'm happy to pay a bit more to get all that in one product.

380/355 that I run on the new car this has been a minor annoyance compared to the stock setup which rivals a large truck with worn out brakes for noise with track pads in. |

How long has it been now with the pads on? I guess the question is are the discs that I've had to change out going to stand up to the pads longer than the stock ones (and ultimately as discussed with Aajami, are the stock discs the same as the ones I had changed in for them)

As to the different discs that are meant to be fitted with the sport pads, I have no idea whether they are a more resilient compound, although realoem does state that the standard discs are not to be fitted with performance parts. There are no magic pads that will do everything without any downsides. Lots of people have 2 sets. |

My nice BMW dealership just put M Performance Pads on my 2011 M3 E92 ZCP. They told me that they have to change the stock discs with Performance discs. It was a surprise for me because it wasn't mentioned on the BMW Switzerland webpage. It's really pricy in the end but the difference of costing will be take under the 3 years swiss warranty. Comparing the stock discs & pads, M Performance parts are around 2 KUSD expensive.
I don't have a lot of time to try my new M Performance bake compounds but all I can say is that it's very noisy and the pedal responsiveness is just awesome! I have to drive approximately 500kms (*break in period*). I think it's a great plus if you live in a mountains area like me (or if you track your car sometimes). If you live in the city those M Performance brake compounds are totally useless and probably annoying due to pads squeal. Neighborhood will kill you if you go home during night I will give you more feedback soon. Here are few pic I did yesterday: Front: Rear:

I am happy with them. The difference is noticeable. Brakes are more powerful. I agree with you regarding the tremendous amount of squeal I heard that discs came from pre-LCI M3 (2007-2010 M3)...

Sorry for brining up the old thread. Folks in the UK, care to share link/places where we can get it directly (am in the US).
US folks, any idea how we can obtain this? Dealer states special order 4 month wait etc. Lastly, how did the pad wear? I am VERY interested in these sport pads. Regards, Lutfy |
