Excellent, The M6 Should Stop Now...
Discussion
In fairness I should preface this by acknowledging that unlike the standard fare on the E39 M5, the M6's regular weeners, miserable 2 pot clampers that they are, have survived two (or is it three?) VMaxes and 10,000 miles of exceedingly sympathetic stoppage (
) with minimal distress.
However, they are still a slightly chinky piece of rusty armour so what better than good old BREMBO to suddenly introduce their mighty 6 pot, 'monoblock' calipers and grooved, 380mm discs?
Andy at Fearnsport used words like "braided" and phrases such as "floating bells" which are apparently 'a good thing' but I really don't care: so long as they are big, red and allow me the stoppage of an Odinic suckerpunch come chucking oot time, I'll be delighted.
They have apparently developed a 4 pot system for the rears which may be worth investigating (although I left my M5 rears standard, despite protestations from Lord Dazren of The West.)
I presume this is the same for E60 saloon fanciers so if you sometimes look at your exposed calipers with some incredulity, why not have a do?
Should be interesting.

I said you needed to change the pads on the rear of the E39 M5, not that you should get the rear axle BBK.Any idea on delivery and install date? in time for VMAX?

3-4 wks: ergo 'yo' for the date. We'll be experiementing with pads.
Jon - fantastic move - every credit, you are about to enter the twiglet zone of fugleschnell.
I would say get a Tubi back box - whilst the basic system is great the boys from Scuderia can deliver the 'tame son of Gallardo' sonorance for reasonable coinage. Ask for 'Manu.'
Colurs, links, when, etc? I may know an alternative source for the delimit - I'll check and get back at ye.
In the meantime, might you be available for the next Vmax?
