M5's Brake Durability (archive)
[ Follow Ups ] [ M5 Message Board ] [ Msg. Board FAQ ]

Has anyone driven their M5 hard, I mean hard on a road course and noticed any brake petal softness, fade or general lack of braking abilty?

This would mean fade after 3-5 hard laps where you are pushing the car to high RPMs and braking hard as well.

I am looking to race my 2000 M5 at ThunderHill Raceway in California and wanted to know first-hand if there was going to be braking issues either during the racing or after I am done and go back to somewhat normal driving. (If normal is not exceeding 150MPH every-other weekend!)
