[QUOTE="ryvinson, post: 364579, member: 16472"] Braking News! Braking News! Braking News! Rambo (front) Brembos brakes ittted.....done, finito, habis, kow tim.....all in less than 2 hours! Superlatives cannot begin to describe the awesome visuals of the yellow calipers against the Perf double spoke rims. The DUAL "BMW Performance" inscriptions on both rims and brakes jutapositioned with each other is simply stupendously stunning. Now I can understand why that lethal combo is used on promotional brochures. I mean imagine Blake Lively posed seductively behind a no less enticing, inviting Megan Fox...now you get the drift...? My holdback on the brakes as discussed was the force-fit diliemna for the rear Bimbo Brembos. Now with just Rambo Brambos upfront, hey, I'm not even missing Bimbo Brambo at the rear! Again, learned from a little birdie that BMW Perf will be out with a Euro Bimbo Brembo for the 3 series by year end. So if I want that more balanced look which I'm very nonplussed at this juncture I can wait. BUT over my dead body will I "cut & paste" to have more balance visuals with Bimbos. No Way Jose.
