M Sport Brakes

I ordered the M Sport Brakes on my 540iX.

I ordered them mostly because the blue calipers look awesome and also because who cant use better brakes. I have read about extra brake dust and I really don't care about that too much as I clean the car often enough.

I do care about squealing brakes and after speaking to a buddy of mine in NJ he said he has a 2018 M2 and the brakes were excellent and did not make any noise.

Are these the same brakes? I sure hope so.

Thanks

Don't know whether they are the same but I have the brakes on my 540 and no squeals after 11000 miles to date.

Awesome, thanks for the post.

How is the dusting on the pads?

There is certainly some there. I have the 759 wheels and the colour of those does disguise the dirt to some extent from a distance.

Until recently I just used car shampoo to clean them but a few weeks back tried one of those solutions that turns red/purple to clean the wheels and that made quite a difference.

Not had to use them agrssively to date but certainly no complaints to date, certainly feel they will deliver should I need to "stamp on them"

I have the Msport brakes and have not had any squealing. As for dust, I have the 664M wheels and I think they hide the dust nicely.

Agreed with all of the above.

Mine haven't squeaked since owning the car. I also have the 664M wheels and think they do a fantastic job at concealing brake dust. In fact, only when I'm washing the car (wheels in particular) that I even notice it and it's because the water is considerably darker running down my driveway.
