Anyways, back to the rotors. Just a side comment as to time spent, I doubt you are driving this daily or regularly so I don't see the relevance. I know you won't be tracking this car either so the aspect of longer track life is kind of pointless.

I'm a fan of your car but I feel like with this last mod, it was only done for bragging rights or just another check on the mod list.
Who cares how he spends his money?

Yep, so you just took our lowly 2007 era M3 and brought it up to current day performance standards... incredible. Well done.

And here I thought I was nuts for purchasing 8k wheels

On a side note not worth the $$ I don't care how you look at it unless your looking to break a stoping distance record , 40k is just plain retarded but hey to each their own !

Enjoy in good health

fantastic. i know this is a 1m, but the m3 really should get an upgrade option from the factory now that the m5/6 are being offered with it.

Anyone else find it funny that GT3RS' convert from CC rotors to Steel rotors for dedicated track use, and GT3 Cup cars also come with steel rotors.

A set of Brembo Type 3's would have been the better choice for "Track use", these are purely for bragging rights/shows.

All I hear are a bunch of haters.... Let the man enjoy his new setup. Who cares if they are practical for his driving needs or not. At the end of the day, they are one of a kind setup!

Agreed. 1M is a nice little car though. I would daily drive it.

KW is the best bang for your buck suspension and its known. I would never run KW on my 02 NSX. I did on my E46 M3 and they were just fine for daily driving. My Moton, Aragosta, Top Secret, Ohlins IMO where much better but some are not even available on some of the BMWs. KW is still a great setup IMO.

I had 3 sets of Endless calipers at one point and it was close to $20k back in my "mod my car days" so I can relate. Boy to be in my 20s again with unlimited funding. I miss those days.

Cool car none the less.
