My inner and outer edges also took some time / few hard stops after breaking them in before the whole surface was equally used.

After doing the bleeding procedure with ISTA the pedal feel is much firmer, I'd do it the right way considering how much it activates the system during the proces.

With the M5 booster and brake cylinder the pedal feel is strong right from the moment you start pushing it, without that upgrade I found the pedal feeling with the bigger brakes a bit of a downgrade compared to the stock setup. I added stainless brakelines later, those didn't change much in the feeling when driving normal.

Good to know, it just seemed odd when everything fit right and it's stopping well.

The pedal feels the same as before the upgrade so very likely the ista bleed will help a lot, I don't know how the flushes were previously done (if truly at all). There's fresh ATE200 running so at least I can tell by color what's coming out during the bleeds.

Attaching pictures from the parking deck before heading home, there's barely any poke on the 10mm.

Thanks! Yeah the front tires are 265s so could reduce to adjust, but always appreciate the extra traction.

Can't lower it, otherwise it won't make it up the driveway

Need to find some time to do full ISTA bled, sigh.

Curious, what size/aspect ratio tires are you using all around? 343M can be a challenge for tire fitment.

Agreed, these cars need all the help they can get on the front axle. I’m running a 275/35 on 20x9.5 all around, lowered slightly with negative camber arms up front. The front end is WAY more responsive now than it was stock.

Previous owner put on - 265/35/20 on fronts, 285/30/20s for rears (these are relatively new Pilot Sport+)

I am planning on getting an alignment soon just for good measure after things settle in.

374mm Zimmerman Rotors
Akebono Brake Pads
Stainless Braided Lines

F10 550i Rear Calipers w/M5 Carriers
370mm Zimmerman Rotors
Does anybody know, whether the 750i brakes (37xmm rotors) will fit inside the 18" wheel?

I can confirm that 760i caliper and 374mm disc also fits 18" oem bmw wheels on f10... There is maybe couple mm between caliper and inner line of the wheel...

Yes they do fit. I was able to fit my OEM 18inch M Parallel Wheels. The offset were more aggressive the 18in F01 750i wheels. Tight fit!

What kind brake pads have people used in front? I wanted to buy Ferodo DS2500, but it doesn't seem to exist. Are there any other good options for upgraded pads?

Upgrading to rear f01 rotors and m5 calipers for f10 535i do you need to install bigger dust shield? F01 dust shield?

No, the stock shield is fine as long as it’s not bent.
