Better Brake Felling?

[stonea]

I want a firmer feel. My brakes aren't sketchy they stop perfectly just not the same firmness as the Z3s. I'm sure I would get use to them, but I was just wondering if I could make it feel closer to what I'm used to. I'm still REALLY new to E30s and especially the ix, but I think the breaks are the same.

First off, what brake feel do you want? Something firmer? something that stops sooner? Do the brakes on the ix have any issues as in pedal fade, excessive freeplay, or sponginess?

If there is a sponge or the brake fades there is probably a leak either internal or external. I have never driven a z3 for the feel, but an e30 should never brake sketchy if everything is dialed in.

If your looking for a performance upgrade, there are bbks. I think a popular one is a rx7 bbk but I do not know how many pistons or any info on it. I never really felt the need to dump the money for brakes when mine have been stopping on dime.

I just got a 1988 325ix and Although I havent driven it much I don't like how the brakes feel. I know pads and rotors will make it brake better, but I was wondring if there was a way to make it feel better. I dont know if this makes much sense, but basically my daily driver is a Z3 and I was hoping there was a way to make it fel more like the Zs brakes. BTW I've already bled the brakes and that helped but I'm looking for more. Also I have a totaled Z3 for parts that I can use if that could help me.

Thanks in advance.
