It should be 130 Nm just like for other BMW models.

Wasn't the problem with the 135i brakes a materials problem though, not really related to the number of pistons. IIRC, the issue was the piston seals, right? They'd burn up under heavy use.

Interesting reading the S55 engine guide. Looks like both the engine coolant system and the charge air coolant system have a main and a auxilliary radiator. In other words, for the engine coolant, there is one large radiator in center front, and another auxiliary radiator on the passenger (right) front side.
Same thing for the charge air coolant, a larger one center front (in front of the engine coolant radiator) and an auxilliary one to the left (drivers) side. Wonder what the reasoning behind that is, wanted to use the extra space to increase cooling capacity? |

Just because BMW has been using something for decades does make it good, just as the reason for the 135 brakes not being as good as the last couple of M cars is not due to the increased number of calipers.

It's funny, I have a 135... and had a 335. Yes the 135 brakes look better but are actually worse in terms of performance and squeal no matter what. I have however taken to them to the track for a 20 minute session and they performed flawlessly. The biggest issue with any BMW brake setup is the dust... many say that aftermarket pads help.

Did your 335i have 18" wheels? My 335is is on style 313 19s so I wonder if the weight/size of those is affecting the braking performance (I have no idea how much 313s weigh, they look like they're pretty light but they're still big wheels). |

These two docs are great to read and full of cool stuff as you've said. I especially enjoyed the S55/N55 comparison data. Also, I noted that the F80 M3 has a 13% increase in aerodynamic drag (Cd x Af) compared to the E90 M3. It suffers from an increased frontal area (of course, due to size of car) and also a higher Cd. Reading through all of these just reinforces how complexity is spiraling upward in car design at a very steep slope...for better or worse.

Nice find ... thanks for sharing.
BUT the engine weight of the S65 is sadly wrong ... according to all availiable informations the S65 weights 202kg and not 212kg !!! |

Yep, it was the piston seals that were causing problems from track duty

Interesting that M-DCT has worse MPG in the US, but better l/100km in the engine doc.
