Bimmerworld

Just tried to order some brake pads from them.

It seems my account information is no longer on their new and different website.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I assume it could be that when they updated the site this occured.

I actually don't like their new look.

And no PFC-08 pads for the rear end of a e90 M3....bummer.

Anyone with suggestions on an alternative that has similar characteristics?

There's a replacement improved compound for 08's. I believe it is 13?

It's the 12 iirc, but they haven't released it anywhere I can find...

Best brakes/top brakes dot com has the 08's F&R if Bimmerworld doesn't. No affiliation.

Thanks!

I know there are other options, but these have worked for me, and I really don't want to experiment.

Yep. 08's are fantastic!

Yes, a good amount of the data we have is old and outdated, so we opted for a clean start. You'll need to open a new account if you haven't ordered anything since about mid-October.

IF they have released the 12's for OEM, I haven't seen them. Hoping they come out before I trundle down to COTA in June.

PFC 08s will continue to be the endurance compound for stock caliper fitments. They'll be moving to 12s for their PFC BBK calipers only at this time.
