Brakes: Why The Upgrade…?
Before one can understand the performance of disc brakes, one has to understand how they function.
BMW F30 3-Series Equipped With BMW M Performance Brake System
Disc brakes function by the brake calipers applying pressure to the brake discs, thus creating friction which then slows the vehicle down to a stop. This brake system functions somewhat similarly as compared to drum brakes. Pressure is applied to the brake pedal which then transmits a uniform pressure via the brake fluid which is transmitted from the master cylinder to the slave cylinders located near the wheels. These in turn, force pistons which force brake pads on the brake disc slowing down the rotation of the wheels.
So why should you upgrade your cars braking system?
The answer is simple, to get to a corner faster, you have to drive faster and harder. Pushing your car faster and harder will allow you to reach the next corner at a much higher entry speed but to get through that corner, you need a brake system that can withstand the heat and stress of slowing your car down.
Brake systems like BMW’s M Carbon Ceramic Brake System has an increased tolerance towards heat and friction allowing you to drive your car faster and harder with confidence. It enables the driver to brake late through a corner, allowing a much higher entry speed. The brake discs are able to dissipate heat at a higher rate, much more efficiently to avoid brake fade. With a sophisticated brake system, drivers are able to achieve a much higher speed due to driver confidence and superior braking performance. From the aspect of safety, these braking systems will enable drivers to initiate emergency stops and stop the car in a much shorter distance than expected. This will ensure that the driver remains in control ensuring the safety and security of the occupants. As a side benefit, these brake systems emit less brake dust to ensure that your rims remain spotless.
