While standard E63 models come equipped with 360mm cast iron discs, this owner opted for the factory CCB version to upgrade to 390mm semi-floating discs.
As the semi-floating discs approached their replacement interval, the decision was made to switch to INSPEED's carbon-ceramic brake discs.
Manufactured from advanced materials like carbon fiber and silicon carbide, carbon-ceramic discs offer numerous advantages over traditional cast iron.
For instance, the original 390mm semi-floating disc weighs approximately 14.34 kg, while the INSPEED carbon-ceramic disc weighs only about 7.09 kg—a reduction of 50.6%.
The weight savings significantly enhances vehicle dynamics, improving acceleration, braking, and handling.
Additionally, carbon-ceramic discs excel in heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during intense driving.
Their lifespan is remarkable, with INSPEED's discs estimated to last around 300,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits.
This durability earns them the reputation of being the "gold standard" in braking performance, and makes me feel confident saying you get what you pay for.
Ah, definitely will look into these in the future BUT I will be purchasing the carbon fiber insets for now. Can I purchase directly on your site with shipping and all that to the US? You can pm me if it makes it easier. Thanks

The OEM CCB rotors and Discs are huge and pretty much fill the 19" wheels. I am not sure how effective the stock size CCB rotors with stock Calipers be?
