The rears are the same as the M3, but the fronts are specific to the B8. The front brakes are specially made by Lucas. Unfortunately, this means it's really expensive to get any components for the front brakes A member of the forum (testdriver) helped me out to get a better price on some new brake pads though

Bummer on the front brakes being expensive.
I guess if the rotors or calipers go you might be better to upgrade to an aftermarket big brake kit. Although I understand the desire to keep things original |

Finally got to take the car on a road trip I thought the seats would get uncomfortable, but they were actually good for the whole trip. A couple of pics when I got where I was going:
Yeah, I had to drive on a small portion of dirt road through some road construction....not happy about that. Sleeping while I enjoyed my time away Many, many bugs and dirt removed after I got home. |

Good for your for enjoying the car even though it get's a little dirty I'm sure it's a great road trip car. Nice to drive it after all the work you've put into it too.

I had a chance to give the outside a decent detail yesterday. I wanted to do a light cut, but I ran out of time so I clay barred, used a swirl remover on the hood and just waxed the rest. Ignore the sun shield in the front LOL.
