No, I don't have carbon-ceramic.
Let's say that I consume more rotors and brake pads than tires.

They had a discount because they changed their warehouse location ?!

Stunning color combination.

Absolutely killer.

I'm kind of regretting not getting carbon ceramic brakes. Have you used or thought about using ceramic brake pads?

No carbon ceramic is just to expensive, beside that for the front is not the same size (didnt check the rear)
change pads for something more track oriented

No, no spacers, no lowering. I'm tracking my car and avoid all non-essential modifications

Wow! Thank you for that! Your Car looks great too, and nice photog skills.

Not a big frozen color guy either but that combination looks very pleasing to my eyes.

I can't lie BMW truly designs some of the sickest OEM rims period.

I'm seeing people wanting to get rid of them. Like they can't wait to get aftermarket rims, which so far, the ones I've seen, have looked worse. I'd say this is probably one of my favorites. Although, not OEM.

The front is a little more responsive compare to sport contact 6 and way much more steering feedback when driving on an uneven surface.

Also, I use the 18/19 wheels as track setup with semi/slicks on it.
They have been beaten already pretty bad by the track, same for the rear brake (new rotor and new pads after 1000kms)

more on my insta

First of all, outstanding.
The combo works really great.

Also curious how rear rotors and pads gets worn so quickly even if you track the car?
Is it the traction control intervention that is using the rear brakes and causing excessive wear?

I had one rainy session where I let traction control on so yes traction control is using the rear brake to keep you on track. But honestly, it was not 5h of track time it was like 20 minutes in the rain.

The rest of the time I drive DSC off or in mdm mode

My opinion is that the pads are slightly too soft for the "heavy" g80
Replacing them with something else should be enough. Last point I go mainly on Spa-Francorchamps where you brake from 256km/h (yes you will hit the speed limiter on kemmel straight) to 80/90 km/h quite a few times in a lap.

The wheels look great! Personally not a fan of gold on the TR but that’s just my personal taste.

How is the ride with the 20/21 compared to the 19/20? Considering these wheels for my on-order BSM G80 M3C.

I don't have 19/20 I have the 18/19 824m. Ride slightly less comfortable but handling/steering feeling slightly better.
