For me I don't think they're worth it given that pads and rotors are covered under the maintenance plan. It may go to the track a few times while I own it and I like the blue calipers better anyway.

Doubt bmw will constantly cover ccb if tracking regularly is why i ask.
Dont think big brembos with track pads fade at all and would be much cheaper to do maintenance no? |

I can almost guarantee that the CCB's will NOT be covered by maintenance plan. that said, I think I'm going to take the plunge. My plan would be to get steel rotors for them when the CC rotors wear out - that's what a lot of the P-Car guys do when their rotors wear out. I have to imagine the aftermarket will quickly develop a set of steel rotors for them.
also, I don't expect them to be much cheaper than the CCB's on the M5/6, etc. although the rotors are slightly smaller, the M3 looks like it's going to get fixed, 4-piston calipers on the rear. A huge upgrade from the sliding calipers on the M5/6 CCB package. |

I dont understand why there is so much question about whether or not CCBs will be covered under warranty; are they not currently covered for M5/M6s?

CCB were previously not covered. Going forward they are covered under the NA only Ultimate Warranty. I am unaware if previous buyers get brought into the program.

Do you have more info on this warranty? Is this not the standard 4-year, 50k mile bumper-to-bumper that comes with every NA BMW?

I am also curious to find out about offset and wheel bolt size. If I am not mistaken, the F3X have bigger wheel bolts than the E9X. So it is likely that our E9X track wheels won't fit the F8X ![]() |

One errant rock chip on ceramics and they're done, drop your wheel on the edge of the rotor, whatever...too fragile for real trackjunkies. |

Yeah they're not worth it, especially if they're not covered. That's literally giving up part of your maintenance plan, and paying for that loss. The way most have to drive this car, they may be worth 5% of your time behind the wheel.

M4 Wheels size
What are the sizes for the M4 wheels? I think I've seen them before, but now I can't find them. I'm thinking of asking for a set for my birthday, but I can't until I know the sizes.
It would be nice to have them ready before I even pick up the car. This way they can be mounted right away. I want to get the stock 19 sizes, so I can swap the OE tires on them.

I think people want to know the offsets. We see it's a 19" x 9" in the front and 19" x 10" in the rear.
275/40 18" is a much taller tire than BMW has used on previous cars like the E90. This is 26.7" in the rear, compared to 25.0" for E90 sizes. 255/40 18" for the fronts is a 26.0" tire.
