I doubt someone that's just spunked out on a V10 for their Z4 will be running standard brakes to start with TBH.
no performance figures
The 5.0L 507hp V10 gets an upgrade to 550hp and drops -60mph acceleration times to sub-4 seconds
Shoehorning big engines into little roadsters is a classic operation - take the Breckland Beira

They're capable.. But they're only a single piston caliper and are prone to fade.

Done.

lol
The caliper is a Brembo 6 pot they use on Porsche GT3s, PF are close to releasing pads for it so unless it's a race car there's no real advantage in getting Alcons or APs.

Warrington fella.
Turbos.
That Z4 is uber stealth, but personally not a fan of the Hartge wheels at all.
The BMW brakes get more stick than they should, they're going to fade like any other road application with boggo pads and fluid. Worst thing is to leave TC on.
Andy's solution with the BMW Performance calipers is great VFM... only thing is some people in the US have had trouble with them. In an ideal world you'd get to try everything out beforehand, but i might of crossed my fingers and gone with that kit instead of APs if they were around when i bought them.

Who's Andy?
The problem in the US was a race team running 135s. They used the stock setup (pretty much this setup) for 5 races problem free.
Then they sourced a different pad (not meant for this caliper) and cut it down to fit and didn't use the titanium backing plate that helps to dissipate/distribute the heat. This all came together and cracked the ceramic material on the pistons.
Performance Friction are developing pads for them as I understand.

I saw a link on MTorque last week. I'll try and dig it out.

Hartge classic alloys are p**n! but 1k a corner though and thats excluding tyres lol
Dunno like...I think it could take the power....once 100 straight and with nothing in a 7 mile radius of you! haha!
Im pretty sure they are M3 csl brakes. But they are pretty crap too. AP's are the only way to go.
