Nice
While you are at it are you doing stainless steel brake lines?

no didn`t really think of it, maybe because the lines that are on are good and they are not visible when the tire and wheel is on so it will not add to the looks of the red caliper and the brembo cross drilled rotors

Interested in your opinion on braking power after you install it. I have the exact same setup on my 740il (Brembo x-drilled rotors & Axxis deluxe pads), but won't put it on my X until after the warranty expires.

I can tell you that it's brake dust free. I love that part of it!

Strong work
The stainless steal lines are more for increase brake pressure and feel and not so much for looks. Altough they look nice if you can see them. The SS lines do not expand under load like most OEM lines do.

I can't beleive the diff. WOW 633 miles? Mine looks 10 times worse after 20 miles? Amazing!! Got to get me a set of those pads and save my back from washing the wheels twice a week....huh
Where are the rest of the pics?

Has anyone tried to get the dealer to use upgraded materials (like the Brembo) while on the free maintenance situation? I am more than willing to pay the difference between the better stuff and the OEM, to get this kind of result!
