    I am not the biggest fan of Clarkson, but I was looking for some reviews of a 335 coupe as I was thinking of getting one (decided to get an S3 instead which I am picking up tonight!) and came across this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/dri...cle1264971.ece

    I found this quote interesting:
    "And then there are the brakes themselves. We’ve often wondered on Top Gear why BMWs always set such fast lap times round our track. You look at the power. You look at the weight. And you can’t really see how it got round so quickly. The Stig always has the same answer. “It’s the brakes,” he says. In Martian.


    Because they’re so good, and because the ABS doesn’t stumble into the equation when it’s not wanted, you can hit the middle pedal later than you would in any other car. And when you are against the clock, that makes a huge difference.
    "

    BMW fit one pot calipers to most of its models.
