character of the vehicle's side profile. Unmistakably<br />

impressive.<br />

DRIVING DYNAMICS HAS MANY<br />

FACTORS.<br />

3<br />

CARBON CERAMIC<br />

LASTS LONGER.<br />

The Carbon ceramic<br />

brake system saves up<br />

to 8 kg<br />

in weight compared to<br />

the standard brakes, is<br />

more powerful<br />

and, above all,<br />

considerably more stable<br />

on the racetrack.<br />

In normal use, it lasts<br />

an entire car life because<br />

its silicon carbide<br />

friction coating is virtually<br />

wear-free.<br />

Amateurs often attribute the sportiness of a vehicle to<br />

its engine performance. Professionals know: Although<br />

a powerful engine is the basic requirement for sporty<br />

driving, on the racetrack it quickly becomes apparent that<br />

other parameters are just as decisive for a good lap time.<br />

The key factors here are low weight, weight distribution,<br />

road holding, aerodynamics and, last but not least, the<br />

performance of the braking system.<br />

The stronger and more stable the brakes, the longer the<br />

driver can stay on the accelerator before the bends.<br />

The M <strong>Sport</strong> brake system in red represents an upgrade<br />

of the brake size on the front and rear axle in<br />

comparison to the standard brakes. With six pistons<br />

at the front and four at the rear, it significantly improves<br />

thermal performance under extreme conditions. The<br />

M Performance <strong>Sport</strong> brake pads are even more<br />

uncompromising.<br />

Another factor in driving dynamics is the suspension.<br />

Retrofitting the BMW M Performance <strong>Sport</strong> suspension<br />

offers outstanding possibilities for individual suspension<br />

tuning. The lowering by the threaded suspension<br />

between 5 and 20 millimetres results in a lower centre<br />

of gravity, which reduces rolling movements and enables<br />

higher cornering speeds. The shock absorbers are<br />

adjusted separately for the rebound and compression<br />

level, depending on the version.<br />

The rear spoiler increases the contact pressure and<br />

thus contributes to better road holding.<br />
