If it weren't for powerful, linear BMW Brakes, BMWs wouldn't be nearly as much fun to drive as they are. After all, confidence to throw your car into tight turns at ridiculous speeds comes from the knowledge that your BMW brakes are there to help you out of a tight spot. That's key. And BMW has been putting together beautifully-balanced brakes for a long time. As early adopters of four-wheel discs, BMW couples meaty calipers with large-diameter rotors so you end up with a significant amount of what's called "swept area." The more swept area, the better braking, as a general rule of thumb.

There's more to BMW brakes than just pads, rotors, and calipers though. The hydraulic systems are designed to provide good pedal feel without being too tight or too mushy. The ABS system on newer BMW brakes doesn't intervene until it's truly needed, so it doesn't interfere with the actions of a skilled driver. Even the BMW brake pedal is carefully-placed to allow heel-and-toe driving in high-performance situations. So the next time you bring your BMW to a stop, stop to think about the part your BMW brakes play in making your car the ultimate driving machine.
