OEM GTS brakes
Does anyone know details about the OEM GTS brakes? How are they different from the standard M3 brakes? Is it possible to obtain them in the US?
I had the OEM CSL brakes on my E46 M3. |

Google is your friend. But anyway, here's a set that was for sale before. They can be yours for the small price of $14,000.

Thanks. Yes i found that set for sale a while ago right after i made this post. Should have searched google first.
Very expensive. I don't my E92 M3 yet however i will be tracking it as soon as i'm done with the break-in. Trying to decide which direction to take with my brakes as i know i will need to upgrade them in one way or another. Either going to do front Stoptech or RS19's and front PF rotors. I have a lot of track experience so i believe the stock brakes are inadequate |

Which brake setup does checkcaptain have with the slots not being like stoptech but being these little curved swirls in the rotor?

14K for painted brembo M calipers with specific rotors. So you are paying ~6k more for bmw m rotors.
Stock brakes can be managed to work for DE purposes. BBK provides extra safety margin. |

I have a OEM GTS brake kit for sale - brandnew for 9500USD BTW - the OEM 378 mm GTS front rotors are about 5 lbs lighter than the 380mm Brembo rotors, which is a noticable weight saving Compare yourself: OEM stock 22lbs: OEM GTS 378mm 20.5lbs: Brembo 380mm slotted 25.5lbs: Brembo 380mm Type3 20.37lbs: Last edited by Checkcaptain; 06-09-2013 at 07:35 AM.. |

I thought the GTS brakes are from AP? Searching on bmwusa under the Motorsport accessory section showed that before. Is the website wrong I take it?

Brembo makes the calipers for the GTS. Not sure who makes the rotors. They look like a BMW design on checkcaptain's pics. .
