Sorry, the dealer didn't take any pictures of the rear rotors, I will post some once I've taken delivery this weekend. The front disc is 1 cm larger than the steel discs, the rears are the same, or so BMW have told me, I also spoke with an M specialist at the Geneva motor show 2 weeks ago where they had the CCB on the new M6 gran coupe and he also confirmed they were 1cm larger on the front. Interestingly, he said that the actual braking performance wasn't significantly better with the CCB, but resisted fade much better for aggressive driving, with no brake dust. He mentioned the unsprung weight had a big difference on the driving characteristics and pointed out that the actual discs have been designed to last the lifetime of the car! They have been running an M5 in house continuously, which has over 400,000km with the same discs. This should help recoup some of the £7600...
