New rotors and pads
Thanks to Dave Z at Zeckhausen Racing I got my stoptech slotted rotors, Axxiss ULT Pads, Stoptech stainless steel lines, BMW OEM sensors, and some ATE blue brake fluid

Also threw in some silver caliper paint and couple jack stands and this is the result

front caliper


rear caliper


and the wife watching me trying to be a good mechanic at my friends garage


the brakes came out great and im just waiting for the bed-in process to be complete and the pedal to be still firmer but the looks of the calipers and rotors through the stock wheels are nice and wish i had bigger wheels and more visibility of the brakes...

Good work! Be careful with those jackstands - the only places on the body rated for the weight of the vehicle are the 4 pads and the center support under the engine...

Very cool! You have the exact combination of items I upgraded to last year. They work pretty well!

I even have the brake ducts open as well.
