Electromechanical Parking Brake.
Starting off on a slope, in stop-and-go traffic or whenever the engine is turned off: the Electromechanical Parking Brake ensures your BMW stays comfortably and reliably at a standstill whenever required.

Working together with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), the Electromechanical Parking Brake controls all braking processes whenever the vehicle is not moving. If the engine is running, it operates hydraulically via the DSC brake system. If the engine is switched off, electromechanical brake cables support the function of the conventional handbrake.
The Electromechanical Parking Brake can be activated by pressing a button on the instrument panel or, depending on your BMW model, on the centre console. It also offers an autostop and hillhold function.
Autostop automatically activates the parking brake whenever the vehicle comes to a halt; it disengages the moment you touch the accelerator. In vehicles with automatic transmission, it is no longer necessary to keep the brake pedal applied to prevent vehicle creep when stopping in gear, such as in stop-and-go traffic or at traffic lights. This makes city driving significantly more comfortable.
Hillhold automatically applies the parking brake whenever your BMW stops on a slope, preventing unwanted rolling, and disengages it when you start off again.

BBK is the lowest priority for my mod list. I am not tracking the car and only have the N53 engine, not fast enough.

If it fits, it should be fine .. but don't trust me .. im not a mechanic

Yeah, weight .. i want to try the 1 series performance brakes, the yellow one, some ppl have put on 3 series .. i am not worried about weight that much, i have low load, and these things are designed for 200km we go 100km max .. so no big deal right?

Before i wanted to upgrade to 535 brakes, since they are one size bigger and would be cheap as cast offs, but now i won't upgrade the size, because of the extra weight. I actually want smaller brakes.. esp. rotor. i t wont look as cool , but drives better ..
Actually want slotted/drilled rotors.. i dont like the flat surface of our OE .. i suspect it leads to the jerking come to full stop, because it is too smooth ..

Not sure if it will have any improvement without the big brake.

Here you go. The shop claims they only have 1 tint color for the material that can stretch and fit the F10 rear light assembly. Great workmanship. But I think I will take them off after taking pictures. Not worth it. Completely destroyed the whiteline instead of enhancing with such a dark tint........

Take it off? I think they look pretty good. Blended in well with your dark graphite.

But up to you bro. As long as you like it.

So dark! Big target for the cops! And don't match new wheels

Space Gray definitely. That will go great with black. Sophisto Gray with black is just neither here nor there IMO.
