Hi all! Hope someone with brakes expertise can help.
I have the r53.
It had standard front brakes and they were awesome. Better than my wife's Countryman.
I changed them to ebc grooved and dimpled. Pads were red stuff, green stuff and now standard pads.
Basically since the upgrade, the brakes are terrible. There's no bite, I can push my foot to the floor and the car won't even lock up.
It's had 2 brake services.
I did a trackday with the new discs and was extremely hard in the car. Since then I have replaced the discs under warranty.
Had the system bled using the abs turned on.
I'm at a total loss with it now. I thought about booking it in with BMW and just getting then to make it standard. But I can't work out why there's no power in the brakes after a trackday and upgrade. And the fact I can push the brake pedal to the floor without getting them to kick and abs to kick in.
Heeeeelp!
