Yes you can. And I’d get the 2000’s. The lack of dust is huge. Even with the 2000’s.

I have to make a correction, i had to go look at my receipts from a long time ago. I have run the 2000's not the 1500's

They worked great on the street.

Nice. 2000’s are the ones to get IMO.

BIGW0RM now you got me second guessing on the 1500s. Maybe pay a bit more for the 2000s? Damn it!

So, I heavily apologize that I was talking about the 2000's the whole time. I didnt remember from that long ago (2017)

The 2000's are definitely streetable though, no downsides and better than the 1500.

No worries my man.

I’m hoping my dealer will install the 1500s and a Mishimoto as part of my deal.

Yeah, I have already asked but the oil cooler guard. Will see how it plays out. My SA said it shouldn’t be a problem to have it installed on the day of delivery. I don’t mind paying for it but if it is ridiculously expensive I will just take it to my indie shop. They specialize on German cars.

Bret · 11-15-2024, 01:39 PM

I decided to wait until after the 1,200-mile break-in to install replacement pads because I wanted to make sure that everything was working correctly from the factory. I wanted to avoid the possibility of something being wrong with the brakes from the factory, but BMW blaming it on the replacement pads.

The skid plate install should take your shop less than 1 hour to install (more like 20 minutes if they do proper research before, or if they've installed one before). Quite an easy installation, speaking first hand (especially if you have access to a lift)

IanH · 11-15-2024, 02:28 PM

Was just watching a video on youtube where this guy got completely shafted on warranty issue with his brakes because he replaced the pads before the rotor problem showed itself.

A good idea to make sure the car is in good status before you do non-reversible mods.

There was no warranty issue because as he stated he put original pads on and it fixed the issue he was experiencing. Obviously the issue was the aftermarket pads he installed. He tried to make it into a bigger issue than it was (for clicks), as evidenced by "now the car has wheels & and aero kit, don't know what they dealership will say...". They'll say nothing because those things have no bearing on the warranty.

It should take less than 10 min & not something I would pay anyone to do. A decent dealer would throw it on as part of the PDI.

i am starting to get some clunking noises from the brakes. hard to explain then they do but usually when at a full stop and start moving. it’s not always but it’s like thump. i have read this is someone normal for brakes but nobody mentioned this with the isweep. didn’t have the issue with my stock brakes.

i did use caliper grease but maybe not enough or in the right place?

I have a combined 34k mi with the iSweep pads on two vehicles, no clunking or noises of any kind. Double check all the caliper bolts.

BIGW0RM · 11-18-2024, 10:09 AM

I had no clunking with isweeps while they where on my M3. Not a single sound from them.

Ehloo · Today, 01:43 AM

guess it’s hit or miss. my isweep dealer mentioned isweep came by from Japan and dropped off a bunch of new grease. a thicker formula which makes me assume others are having issues and they are aware of it. i will be trying some and hopefully it helps. have to basically re-install the pads to grease them
