IS-F had 2500 miles
M3 had over 1500 miles

The M3's breaks were squeaky as ****. Is that break in or just crappy BMW breaks as usual?

We both are heading to the track next Tuesday. Hopefull I'll have vids/pics.

It's break-in & not sure what you meant by "crappy BMW breaks as usual" but every comparison test have shown the e9x M3 to stop shorter than the IS-F.

All professional reviews I've seen/read/watched have talked about how the BMW breaks on their M vehicles fade very quickly when being driven on the track. Never dealt with it before personally just curious.

Not saying they're bad breaks. One thing is for sure though. They aren't Brembos and the BMW is lighter than the IS-F so Im not surprised with the quicker stop, or atleast i thought it was lighter. Probably only by a few feet anyways, (I can't find the braking spec).
