  • The brake dust on the BMW M2 G87 is absolutely horrid. I have had enough of it and so in this video we look to fix it. Low dust pads are an inexpensive way to go. We enlist help from Sean at Elite BMW to install EBC Red pads.
    Also in this video, we get ‪@mcoupedubsesd‬ to paint correct the car and wow, the results are amazing.

      Even with black wheels, the brake dust turns it into a rusty black after some time. But black does hide the brake dust a lot better 😃🙌

      @@thedevthing very true. You still have to keep the wheels clean, otherwise the chemicals in the brake dust will eat into the finish.

    It might of not been intencional, but the light blue of the paint, the dark blue on the brakes and red on the pads are a exact match for the ///M logo

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Před 8 měsíci

      The blue callipers were intentional, the red pads were semi-intentional. I was unsure about the red pads when I ordered it. But when it arrived and we put it on, we looked at each other and went … “that’s the ///M logo” 😂😃🙌

    I have this car with the black wheels. I now have 3300 miles on it. I gave up cleaning the wheels with the rest of the car 1500 miles ago. I wash my car 2-3 times before I even touch the wheels again. It's pointless. And they are such a pain in the ass to clean. after driving 20 miles to work, they are filthy. Was hoping it would get better after they broke in, but it hasn't. Side note, the zandvoort blue is also impossible to keep clean. But when everything is squeaky clean, it looks absolutely amazing

    • @thedevthing

      These new pads have reduced the brake dust a lot. 😂 I drive a number of times in a week before I have to wipe it down.
      I don’t drive it as much as you do though.

    Gt3rs 😮‍💨👌🏻👌🏻 the Brembo LM1000 pads stop like a mfer and have very very little break dust. ( best pads I’ve had ) Haven’t used ebc before but might try them because the lm1000’s are pricy. Atm I’m running hawk 5.0’s, stop really good and dust isn’t too bad👍🏻

      So far the brake dust with the EBC has been very minimal 😃

      @thedevthing  Před 10 měsíci

      I got it from a buddy locally who ordered it a while ago. I haha nos had brake squeal with the stock or the EBC reds.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Před 10 měsíci

      I can make a follow up video. So far there has been very little brake dust. A wipe down with a towel and details cleans it up nicely. But it’s more the road dust and dirt that I seem to be wiping off.
      Stopping power on street is superb. I just would not track the car with these pads 😃🙌

    I’m not sure I get it: a graphene spray to boost a ceramic coating? Would you not use that after something like a TurtleWax Graphene Flexwax application? 🤔

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I am not sure how all that stuff works. Adams Polish had a bunch of products and they mix and match for extra protection and shine.

    • @swift__
      @swift__ Před 11 měsíci +2

      Once you have the car ceramic coated after you wash it , you use that spray as a “drying aid” which basically just rejuvenates the properties of the coating to make it last longer.

      I don’t have any squeaks with these pads or the stock pad. Maybe after a lot more driving it might. I see that with my RS5 as the pads are old and likely ready to be changed.

    A ceramic brake set fitment should eliminate your brake dust issue. ;-)

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yes it would. But they are super expensive to get aftermarket and BMW does not offer it as an option from factory.
      The upcoming M2CS will have it, but it might not be a manual. If it does come in a manual, that’s what I will be getting next

    Hi Prabhul. Do you have the part number for the EBC pads for the G87?
    I can’t seem to find availability, even when cross referencing the G series M3/M3

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Does this help? If you select a 2023 M3 you will be able to order it. The G87 uses the same specs as the G8X M3/M4

    Ceramic only, no PPF. You briefly voiced a bias towards not applying PPF on the 992 video you did last year. Did you your channel do a deeper dive? Thanks. Great stuff here.

      Yeah I decided not to do PPF now. If and when the car will be driven in the winter, I would add the PPF then. For now, since it’s a show car or occasionally driven summer car, I don’t see the point of adding PPF

I bedded my Mazda CX 5 (non-sports car) brakes when new and it actually feels a lot better grab. BTW, have you considered lighten flywheel in the future, I love how it felt on my old car.
