Ceramic Brakes
G’day
Ceramic Brakes were only available for the M5 LCI update : ie MY 2014 model.
There is a Bmw Carbon Ceramic Brake Technical Bulletin available on the internet (if you google this option it will explain this option and all of the Technical details and Maintenance/Care).
I’ve been looking to upgrade my LCI M5 to better and bigger front brakes ; and their are cheaper options (410 mm disc’s plus calipers which require 20” wheels).
By the way be very careful of anyone offering second-hand Ceramic Brakes here or elsewhere :
To operate Ceramic Brakes properly Bmw states that a complete Brake Kit is required not just the disc’s and calipers (you must install the specific Bmw Brake Booster as well).
Also Ceramic Brake disc’s if not handled properly and/or are subject to stone/physical damage can render them structurally unsound and subject to catastrophic failure.
Cheers
Bruce
