Some of you may have read, I am the proud owner of the blue 94 m3, that Franz and then Hassan have owned in the past. This was a car from japan, and modded for track use.
The car has carbotech pads, and OEM rotors front and back replaced by Ayham by the previous owner, not Hasan. I believe that Franz changed the brakelines to stainless steel as well.
My issue is that the pedal has to travel 1"-1.5" (25mm - 33mm) before the brakes engage, and then another 1" for them to bite as a BMW brake should, don't get me wrong it does stop, but the pedal needs to travel quite a bit before, and brake pressure does not seem progressive. I have driven a 1991 7 series before, owned by my family, and the brakes were amazing on it.
I would like to know what other e36 m3 owners are experiencing with their brakes as well, been reading on forums, and could be the MC or booster being worn, as it is now 96,000kms old and used a little on the track. But maybe this is a e36 thing?
Cheers,
