Mk6 brakes were no bueno.

I forgot how shitty mk6 brakes were. I feel like even the rental 2018 camry ones are better

You gotta test the difference between your mk7 brakes and the PP brakes

But they would also discolor over time. And, I don’t have any carbon fiber on the car. I think black would be a better choice

Good point. Black will look great!

And make the pay for it!

We could test like 40-0 when I come back

Lil off topic, but have you driven bmw’s before? If so how would you compare the brakes versus PP?

You need to specify the generation and the model “bmw” says absolutely nothing.
My e46 with the competition brakes was good. My f30 with the normal brakes was ok but nothing to write home about the f30 got really non grabby brakes. That entire gen looks like it “feels” a lot weaker than before due to how they engage. E90s were super strong all the way from the top, similar to the mk7.
My f80 has the best brakes I have ever had.

I personally cannot speak from cars that a MMM cars. But my experiences f10 535i, couple loaners and a german 120i. I found the brakes to be quite grabby, definitely better than my mk6, slightly better than my mk7.

Mk6 and 7 are a world of difference, I don’t know what they did since the calipers seem the same but they are way better. I am assuming the upped the brake boost and used slightly gripper compound in the pads.

I am also thinking the brake boost may have contribute to that.

Brutal. Stupid move, kid was being a

Carbon fiber caps from fleabay would look 5/7.

But they would also discolor over time. And, I don’t have any carbon fiber on the car. I think black would be a better choice

Get black caps from a sport.

There's a mistake in the description where it says PANORAMIC SUNROOF!!!!!! , must be a Euro model?! Great price I'd be all over that deal if I were local and wanting a 6 spd
