and yet our "regular brakes" outperform many "OEM Brembos" - example, the "worst" time on Insideline's E90 M3 was 110 feet 60-0, while the Dodge SRT-8 is 119 feet. I think that's a pretty decent stock offering.

Brembo's are more appropriate for track use. The stock M3 brakes fade pretty quickly.

The M3 is still positioned as a dual purpose car, ie, for the street and occasional weekend light track use. That's why it still outperforms many of its competitors on a single lap track time and why magazines and auto shows keep using it as a benchmark. As for the comparison with the Dodge SRT-8, that doesn't mean the Brembos are bad. You have to compare apples to apples for the comparison to make sense. Fit the M3 with the Brembos and measure stopping distance. Then put on some laps and measure fading, consistency and stopping distance lap after lap. Guess what brake system will come up on top on the same car. BMW is probably saying the M3 brakes are tested at the Nurburing and they work perfectly there, maybe that's because they have enough time to cool down there. Go to a typical track, and we all know what's the story. For the street of course the single caliper brakes of a stock M3 are more than adequate. Sorry if this is off the main topic but I had to get it out of my chest...

If BMW wants to sell more M3 Sedans, increase the residual already. I don't get why it's so low. The e90, even though I wish it came with a CF roof, is the perfect car! 4 doors, powerful, adjustable suspension for everyday driving, incredible transmissions, ZCP option (my preference).
Why is a convertible that's $10k more expensive, cheaper to lease? Its super cool that everyone is getting their dream convertible for a low lease payment, but why not make e90 customers happy too? Put a 64% residual on this beast and get the payments in the $600 or lower range for the last year of the V8 and it's instant win. Let's go BMW!!

All joking aside you know they didn't even promote the E90 M3 as much as they should and now they want to kill it off due to low sales? Then, bringing in the M3 GT makes some kind of sense? I'm positively baffled at some of their management thought process. |

I may be going out on a limb here but it seems like the Brembos that are sold as aftermarket upgrades are superior to most Brembo branded brakes that are OE on some cars

I'm betting the GT replaces the sedan AND the Touring. A crying shame, really. I mean, there's no 5er Touring in the US anymore. It's no stretch to see them not making a 3er Touring. I've seen the new 5er Touring over here and it's bad ass. Too bad I'll never be able to buy one. I guess I'll have to buy a final year 328iT or 328xiT.
