Are the C63 brakes really that bad? |

Well maybe our pads are unusually worn down? Not likely, considering the primary driver, my mom, babies that thing.
I found braking performance to be equal. No better. I do my usual 120-0 at this off ramp and the ABS kicked in more than I had liked. I was overly confident in the brakes before that point, now I realize (at least fom my experience) that I have to use the same judgment as with my 335i's.
Yes, fade is a problem with the e92's brakes.
