Just do it. Removes a TON of sound deadening.

the brake pads are extremely easy to replace. it takes longer to get the car up in the air and the wheel on/off than it does to change the pads. it requires no special tools either.

I’ve tracked a lot more than this my 5 for a fraction of these costs…

That article is only talking about the warnings. The factory compound is part of that calculation as well as many other like the stability control, e diff, abs function, etc. this is brake by wire not a normal system.

The sensors are just warnings. They are a simple wear through sensor that when your pads are almost worn out the sensors also wears through and breaks a circuit. When that circuit breaks the warning comes up. That’s all it does.

Collecting data from other sensors and feeding that into an algorithm to guess is exactly what it’s doing lol. Pad fade and fluid boil are two completely different problems that are going to be detected differently. Also as soon as you put on different pads what the computer sees as that certain...

those number estimates seem awful high, much higher than what i've experienced in my 5. the front rotors, btw, are nowhere near 1800 even on the 5. go to rockauto.com. they have the cheapest oem parts. it is highly unlikely you actually warped a rotor. it is near impossible to get them hot...

What I said is correct. All pedal feel is simulated with a solenoid. There any many things that feed into the algorithm & there are no temp sensors. Per chief C8 engineer (which uses same system) What does the Brake Fade Warning System actually measure? Is it the brake fluid or rotor...

There no physical connection to the brakes and no temp sensors. The only way to know if things are getting too hot is if a message pops up warning you. That message is based on an algorithm that is reliant on the stock pad compound. You won’t ever feel any fade nor fluid boil bc the computer...

If you do track pads you need to be aware of how the brake by wire system works first and the comprises associated with putting in a pad that’s different versus what the programming is expecting.

Sedans & small cars went from 43% of all sales in 2010 to 19% today. Sports cars from 5% to 2%. People are buying trucks & SUVs, which aren’t exactly emissions friendly purely based on the physics of a larger/heavier vehicle. New federal rules are going to require fleet wide 49 mpg on average...

I’m on set 3 of tires at 7k miles. Lots of track time. On set 4 of front pads and 2 of rear pads.

I’ve tried calling them 3 times now and sent 2 emails trying to buy a second BW from them. Apparently the new sales team is not as responsive as the one that was there last year…

are you sure about that part number?

Just set the ptm mode you want it to go to with the second push while adjusting v mode settings

Put in Castrol SRF & you’ll only need to bleed once per year. There’s several threads on the brake cooling parts. Be sure to also remove the defectors in front of the front tires if you don’t have the CF splitter. I find the weak link is overheating the tires before anything else. The steels...

Pretty sure the intercooler is different

1.5 bottles

The dealer needs to replace those parts on their dime with their time. Same thing happened to me. The car is great but dealership service dept competency not so much.

Yes that and brake pads. They are in and out of stock all the time at rockauto (lowest price I’ve found)
