Look at the mark on the wheel just below it. Think they slammed into a curb and ripped it open.

I get the feeling the braking pedal just isn’t as sharp as you like it and you are mistaking this for a lack of braking performance.

Unless something is broken or you have some real dodgy aftermarket pads, if you slam the brake pedal your car can immediately trigger ABS. It does not lack brake performance.

Maybe what you want is just a pad with more grabby material which will make the brakes feel sharper. Don’t mistake lass grabby brakes for having less performance. Even the most budget of cars can have super sharp braking feel if they have a strong brake booster and grabby pad material.

Although you also want less dust… I don’t think you can have both.

EBC Red will give you less dust than OEM, but from my experience they are not any sharper. They also aren’t any better from a performance standpoint. You might like them for the lower dust though.

If you want sharper pads, Ferodo DS2500 have excellent sharp brake feel. But they dust like a mofo as they’re primarily made to be a performance pad for sports cars that can take some good abuse.

A minor tune does make them feel much more ‘alive’. IMO though, going beyond stage 1+ is totally unnecessary as you start to lose responsiveness through turbo lag as you make the engine’s power delivery more dependant on boost.

The BMW official tune, the MPPK is excellent as it wakes the engine up nicely without any drawbacks.

I would stay away from this one unless you are looking for a project car, and are willing to gamble the whole way.

lol choosing that for a project is going to bring nothing but disappointment and tears. Premium priced parts for a slow crap unreliable engine…

Yes because the E9x 320i is a shitbox. Firstly it’s not 6 cylinder, the seller is wrong, it was the previous generation E46 320i that came with a 2l straight six.

Basically that engine is weak, and known for constant oil and coolant leaks. 320i also tended to lack the nicer and more luxurious options of the higher end models so inside is marginally better than a Camry and it doesn’t drive much better than one either.
