I recently took my E46 M3 on a track day and the brakes got very hot and bothered after only a couple of gentle laps. Is anyone aware of a brake upgrade for these cars yet?

Ouch! Do you know if anyone has tried it out yet?

Thnaks Tony - looks like he did go ahead. There is a write up on www.bm3w.com apparently.

stick some Pagid RS19's on it and it runs fine (except for a bit of squeal)


On the track the brakes got so hot that the disks blued slightly. Does this happen with the Pagids?

Ouch! I would guess that M3 gearboxes aren't cheap. Is the warranty problem due to trackday use? BM3W.co.uk is still down so I haven't been able to get the full story yet.

Whilst I (of course) would never consider taking my car on such a day I would be very interested to hear what happens. Just for my own education you understand...

It's outrageous that they would even try that approach. Do they recommend that you discover the limits of an M3's performance on the open road??

Good luck,

Mike
