Have the 310's and they fit the car exactly. Unfortunately no upgrades for brakes.

Why brake upgrades? Looks? Racing?
Auto Motor und Sport measured very good brake performance in their 100-0 km - ten in a row- brake tests with X3. I have 310:s and all performance features, and my concern is brake dust also at rear wheels - which is unusual. I do rarely drive "aggressive". My take is that the active dynamic support system is actively braking inner wheels - front and rear - to support handling - also at non-aggressive driving on asphalt. I am very happy with steering and handling after lowering vehicle. |

uh, anyone feels the stock brakes feels a bit soft on F25? The brakes on my previous BMW bite much harder (but have more brake dust too). Is this due to the brake pads?

Yes. I had uprated pads in my previous car and it stopped very well.
The new one feels much softer and takes more effort to get it to stop quickly. Has anyone changed their pads for uprated ones?

Please pm or update this post if and when you do the kit.
Between the two I am leaning toward Alcon's. Looks like they even come with stainless steel hoses.
