The aim of this BMW 1M is to build it up as a ‘clubsport’ occasional track/enjoyable road car, with choice modifications that will help retain the refinement of the factory machine, whilst offering up more capability if Tim decides to go for a spirited drive.

The EBC brake kit is the perfect choice for this brief; with Bluestuff NDX pads to help offer unrivalled braking performance on both road and track.

Other upgrades already carried out to the 1M include a Quaife ATB differential and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres – helping Tim to prepare for an upcoming road trip to the Nürburgring in the car.

Stay tuned for more driving impressions about how the brake kit has improved the car in upcoming social media posts/videos from Shmee150. 91´«Ã½ will also be releasing some behind-the-scenes footage from the trip to its social channels very soon.

Apollo-Series 6-Piston Calipers

• EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 6-piston brake caliper
• Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
• Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
• High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris
• Lightweight, hard-anodised aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics
• Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi
• Full stainless-steel hardware and fittings, providing durability and longevity – this caliper will never rust
• Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads
• Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use an advanced high-temperature Teflon polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

• Fully-floating 380x36mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use)
• Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time)
• Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling
• Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application
• Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention

Bluestuff NDX Performance Brake Pads

• Every EBC 6-piston Apollo Big Brake Kit is supplied with EBC Bluestuff NDX pads for the front axle
• Now road legal in most markets, Bluestuff NDX combines excellent cold bite with the capability to perform well in short spells of track/race conditions

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

• Every kit is supplied with 91´«Ã½â€™ stainless-steel braided brake lines for the front axle
• Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking

Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

• Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid
• Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade
