Gotta say it...I love my Alcon 365mm BBK

I feel like I could stop on a dime...very responsive...no frickin fade even on the track...and that wasnt even with race pads. They look cool...more subdued than Brembo or Stoptech...and work excellently. If anyone is on the fence on a BBK for their cars...definitely consider these. FWIW, StaSIS is having some type of short time discount on them...PM me for details. I dont want to overstep any boundaries since they are not really a BMW tuner per se...they just have the 335i application all worked out.

Here is a pic of them on my car:

Is the setup lighter than stock? Will this prevent the use of 17" winter wheels?

They look nice and not so flashy.

Yes, they are lighter...StaSIS weighed my stock and compared to their Alcons...I forget the exact weight loss..but it was significant for me. I can inquire and find out if you like. The winter wheel issue will have to be experimentation. If you want you can sent me a wheel and I can try to mount it on my car before hand...no problem with that..I have lots of jacks and speed wrenches to do it in about 2 minutes flat.

I dont think they do yet..but I am sure they can work with you to get a better rotor in the rear..remember..the stock rear set up is pretty darn large for OEM. I am not touching it ..because I dont think it needs upgrading.

I think I'll pass on the shipping out the wheels for a test.

I perused the UUC site last week and noticed they have Alcon bkare kits. They show 335i as an option, but it's not ready, so you can't click it for a price. I didn't check the pricing on other applications.

just a quick question, does Alcon pad produces brake dust as much as OEM pads?
