The new Original M carbon-ceramic brake is a technology from racing. The use of the high-tech materials carbon and ceramic increases the thermal load capacity even in extreme situations such as on the racetrack. The weight reduction of the brake disc has a positive effect on fuel consumption and the agility of the M vehicle. Thanks to its long service life, it even slows down wear. -The sportiness of the vehicle is underlined by its attractive appearance. Particularly in the case of light-alloy wheels with an open wheel design. -New type of carbon fiber composite ceramic: This makes the brake discs significantly more wear-resistant and replacement is required much less frequently. -Better braking effect under extremely high load due to high and stable coefficient of friction. -60% lighter than conventional brake discs: The reduced unsprung masses reduce the weight of the chassis and achieve an improvement in the road contact of the wheels. -More precise control of braking power and increased agility when cornering by reducing the mass moments of inertia. -Even greater resistance to diminishing braking effect due to high thermal stress (fading) than with the standard 6-piston fixed-caliper brake with internally ventilated and perforated cast-iron brake discs. -High corrosion resistance of the material and thus an extension of the service life of the brake discs. -The BMW M carbon ceramic brake was designed and tested according to internal requirements. Technical information: -Reduction in weight by approx. 19 kilograms. -New carbon fiber composite ceramics
