My left front caliper has started to turn green but the other 3 calipers are still blue. The only thing that I can think of is that on the Calabogie East Course it is mostly right hand corners where you trail brake a lot and the left just gets that much hotter than the RF with the ABS interacting.Brake dust is ingrained now in the Clearcoat of my Left Front wheel.Still had a great pedal so you have to love the Pagid RSL pads!

They (BMW) probably in reality don't think much about us track guys. But with cost not being a factor, we would all have CCB brakes for our track cars. I've never read or heard a negative thing about them except for the cost and maybe braking in the rain. If they really tested (and cared) the stock brakes on the track and saw them turn green, I *think* they would have changed the color of the calipers at the very least. BMW knows 95% of the owners never take their cars to the track and it's probably only 1% that really drive them hard on the track. So just because the majority of track guys have the stock brakes, doesn't mean they are the best.

It started when you said: "BMW doesn't expect hardcore track guys to use these brakes." I think BMW was well aware that most "track" folks would opt for the irons. Their market research cannot be that off. Heck, they even offer BMW OE "track" pads for the irons. Further, don't forget that the CCB operate at much higher temperature than iron rotors so the CCB are just as susceptible (if not more so) to heat induced collateral damage. I am not disputing the fact that, as an entire package and not factoring cost, the CCB are superior.

Further, most Performance Center experiences are far less demanding on the brakes than most track days.

You keep mixing cost in with what is the best for the track. These are two mutually exclusive things.
I stand by my opinion that if you asked a BMW M engineer which brake package to get for the track they would say the CCB. If you asked him which system they put more engineering into for the track, again he would say the CCB.

If it were for his own car at his own expense, I am pretty sure his answer would be different. This I doubt. I believe very similar engineering went into both systems.

Mine are Green. With some brown at the edges.
No warranty, obviously. But I did ask LOL. I'm with CanAutM3 I pretty much stopped caring after the third track event. CCB's will also change the caliper color. CCB's get hotter since they can take more heat. |

Thanks. Yeah, if I stick with the stock set-up I'll stop caring too. Just wanted to see how common it was.

I suspect BMW doesn't expect hardcore track guys to give a rats ass about caliper color !!

Or at least an Indy Car. Alas, cost does factor into my decision making process, thus ruling CCF brakes out (well that, and that 50% of them squeal hideously at street temps and have problems with friction coefficient at below freezing temps). a

Depends on who you ask. I've done almost 30 this year and one group I run with some of their guys do 70 a year. I don't know how they can do it, I was all ready to be proud of myself for committing more than half my weekends to motorsports but clearly I'm just a dabbler.

Wanna be cost effective buy a prius and dont track your car... I dont get the logic behind cheap people... ALWAYS need to give a reason for why their cheaper "object" is superior because it is cheaper lol

If money was no object we'd all do more track days no matter what brakes we are using. Just saying.
