Re: BMW Performance Brakes
Well, from the Principle of Joy (POJ) promotion that just passed last weekend, they sell as a whole kit itself (6-pot front only) on the POJ pricing which is $2600 for E90. If its the list price, can indent as you like, e.g. can get both front and back. But the price can be as high as $5K++.

Re: BMW Performance Brakes
Hi folks, just sent in my ride (E90 LCI) to PML Alexander yesterday to have my Performance Brakes installed and apparently there needs to be some software programming required to "sync" the new brakes to the OBC and was told that it will take about 2 days to do so. Just did a follow up call to PML on Day 2 and it seems that they're encountering some problems with the OBC not being able to sync with the Performance Brakes. Any blokes in our network facing/ or have faced similar issues?
Cheers!

Re: BMW Performance Brakes
Thats not too good. They shld have tested all these before they push out the sales
. I am going to have mine delivered pretty soon, so guess have to prepare to leave my car there for at least 2 days 
How about bros here who installed 3rd party brakes like Brembo ? Any requirements to 'sync' with the OBC or any software changes required after installation ?
Thanks.

Re: BMW Performance Brakes
Hi folks, just to follow up to my posting on the Performance Brakes. Collected my ride yesterday with it all done up and first impressions in the looks department, it is spankingly GOOD! :whipper:
Spoke to the service adviser about the "sync-ing" issue with the OBC and he said it took the technical guys quite a few rounds of software running (not too sure what they do there) to get the OBC to recognize the new Performance Brakes. This is mainly for the brake pad wear indicator and for the DTC to "sync" with the new brakes.
Now on the actual driving side, it's much grippier than the stock ones and brake fade doesn't set it as quick esp on scorching hot tarmac days. No regrets with it thus far except with the issue hoping that PML could have gotten the programming side all sorted out before hand so that customers won't have to be missing their "babies" for 2 whole days.
Cheers!
