Description
For BMW 2011–2012 1M, this rear-axle Brembo setup is aimed at drivers who want a braking system that better matches the chassis once pace, tire grip, or track use increases.
Brake-system layout
Brembo GT-R systems sit above the conventional GT range, emphasizing lighter, higher-spec hardware and stronger track-focused capability for drivers who repeatedly work the brakes hard.
- Axle: Rear
- Brembo family: GT-R
- Catalog specification: 4-Piston; 2-Piece
Best match for
Best suited to advanced HPDE, time-attack, and heavily modified street/track cars where repeated high-speed braking and lower component mass are meaningful priorities. As a rear kit, it is especially useful when the goal is to complement a front brake upgrade and preserve balanced brake behavior across the chassis.
Application focus
Because this is a high-output rear-drive performance platform that can build substantial brake temperature during repeated high-speed stops, brake performance becomes increasingly dependent on heat management and repeatability as the car is driven harder. This package is intended to support that progression.
Available configurations
- Rotor Style: Type 3 Slotted, Type 1 Slotted, Drilled
- Caliper Finish: Nickel
Where both drilled and slotted versions are offered, the rotor selection changes the friction-ring treatment while retaining the application-specific package. Choose the version that best matches your intended duty cycle and preferred setup.
