Here are some shots I took yesterday that I posted on the Wheels forum by mistake. Rotors are slightly rusty, because I had washed the car and not driven it. Rear calipers are pretty puny, but the brakes seem to work well.

As you know because of weight transfer the fronts to the vast majority of the stopping.

I've also noticed that my rotors get rusty after I wash my car. Is this normal? I never had this problems on any of my other M3's. Some of the rust transfers onto the wheels too.
