With the Ring trip imminent - im thinking of trying to improve the brakes as cheaply as possible - but need some help/advice. Im not looking at BBK - but im thinking upgraded pads - maybe discs (but theyre going to be expensive) - possibly brake fluid??? Thoughts??

I think BMW do set of 'race' pads for the M3. Inquire at your stealership at your own risk...lol

What brake hoses do you run on the M3?

Perhaps some Goodridge braided hoses would be a good upgrade along with a fill of Castrol Response Super DOT 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid.
