The bridge line is machined internally. There is only 1 bleed screw at the back of the caliper compared to 2 on normal bbks. Might take an additional few seconds to bleed both sides of the caliper |

Your tail lights will flash at a high rate as ABS starts to kick in, if your hazard lights come on you've got an electrical fault. Someone might have mistaken the rapid flashing of the tail lights for hazard lights. It's a normal function of the lights with or without BBK and I see it at the track all the time on M3s braking hard into corners. It's a good thing as it give the car behind excellent warning of heavy braking

Absolutely. They flash braking heavily only. I'll see if I have some footage on the track to show what I mean. Outside that it's electronic or software

I would love to see the picture of the car from the side as I am trying to decide on what colour Harrop kit for my white M3 with black rims, leaning towards yellow. I am a member of Dave's M3 group on facebook. Dave is asking his contact at Harrop if they can do white for me. How did the brakes perform at Philip Island? March is our next track day at QR that Dave has organised so the new BBK will be installed by start of February I hope. Thanks |

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...6&postcount=26 or this http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=900426 I am sure they can do a white for you. Should be around $175 extra if not mistaken. Best to get Harrop to confirm. Just curious, why white ? It's a pain to clean those brake dust The brakes performed well at PI Didn't have to slow down to cool it as compared to OEM. I was just doing laps after laps (approx 8 laps per session) with no fade. Hope the pic below is sufficient. Good luck with the decision |

http://www.bmwgarage.com.au/index.ph...he-orange-one/ If you do go with white, I recommend before installing them to treat them with some nanolex alloy sealer: http://www.nanolex.com.au/category/p...alloy-sealant/ What you will find with this product is when applied the nano sealant provides a teflon slick glossy type finish and most of the grime can literally be hosed off with minimal shampooing required. Also in maintaining the appearance of the brakes, I would reccomend this wheel brush that has soft scratch free bristles and makes cleaning brake calipers and inside the rims wheel wells a breeze: http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/pr...na_wheel_brush |

I also have the flashing brake lights, but this was a different issue as I turned off the hazards with the switch. |
