I run a seasonal business so in the summer I have excess cash I still have a lot of meat left on my front pads so I should be good until then is it worth getting a big brake kit they seem pretty expensive over $3,000 does anyone if it's worth it or if there's a cheaper alternative that will improve the braking thank you

This is a big topic, but the bottom line is that they do very little in real terms. They look cool - that's about it. Brakes don't even stop cars; they stop wheels; tires stop cars. Start with stainless brakes lines, fresh fluid and upgraded pads. Suspension upgrades will improve braking too by keeping the tires on the street and improving weight transfer. And most of all - tires. Wider stickier tires.
+1 on what the above user stated. Unless you're doing major tracking and have a real need to be able to stop on a dime. The brakes on your F3x are more than sufficient.

Okay thank you for the information I have a set of stainless steel braided hoses that I'll have a professional install I had stoptech slotted rear brake rotor and pads and I was going to install them tonight but got stuck when I took the 7 mm allen wrench screw out of the front of the rotor after removing everything else and could not get it off with the rubber mallet by tapping it it was too late at night for me to use a metal hammer is there any suggestions to get the rotor off because my car is incapacitated right now thank you and by the way I have a set of rims with nice sticky tires that are wider than the stock ones

Yeah you're right the BMW brakes are actually excellent there's no need for anything better

I want the M Performance F30 brakes (370mm) just for the looks behind my 19" HREs.
