I had 'em on my 323i and agree that the initial bit was a bit less, but the stopping power was still good and the wheels stayed very clean.

If you want the best of both worlds, get Toyo T1R's. They are an all around amazing tire. They stretch great and perform well in wet and dry conditions. My car has never felt more \"sure footed\" than when i had 195-45 T1R's on my 15x8's.

I'm running General Exclaim UHPs on my E30, I think in the same side you're looking for. Some say the sidewall is too soft, but I think it's fine for me. Road noise is a little high though. Grip is very good in both the wet and dry.
Installed front and rear Akebono Euro ceramic pads on my car. Have only driven about 200 miles but there is almost no brake dust on my wheels. Initial bite is a little less than stock pads but modulation is fine and no noise. So far, so good.
In all of my cars, I have always done it. '92 BMW 325i, and my '97 GTI. It is something that I feel should be done as others have said, makes it easier on the starter, I shut it off when I am pulling into my parking spot. I just turn the fans off.
Don't get cheap no-name stuff. Stick with OEM, Lemforder or "real" Meyle
Well made, but they ain't cheap. Here's the diagrams for the N54 setup: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/par...fg=35 The water pump itself is over $500.
Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
meyle products are so-so quality,but their ball joints are the bottom of the trash pile. I've learned my lessons the hard way by using meyle components on my e30 BMW's. The parts are just poorly made pieces of poo.
