Upgrade CCB

I found a great deal on a full set of Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
Does this require coding the car for proper operation?

Good question, not sure. Call up your local BMW Service department and ask them, I’m sure they’ll know the correct answer.

Yes the car does have to be coded for the carbon ceramics. Not sure the exact process but this was done by another forum member on an M3 and coding by the dealer was required

Where did you get them from? They didn't seem to be available online.

I think the Master cylinder needs changing also, correct me if wrong.
It must be coded though for sure.

When i have upgraded my steel brake to CCB on my ex F13 M6 Comp,
the master brake cylinder replaced as well and coded required.

You will need the dust shields, belly pan, brake booster, master cylinder, and coding/programming.

Ok so the Brake Master Cylinder seems to be the same on all 5 series. I looked on getBMWparts.com and so far the only part different other than the hardware itself, are the shields. Programming I'll stop by today the dealer and ask.

Edit: Just spoke to someone at https://tro-nik.com/carbon-ceramic-brakes-bmw-m5-f90/ and they did confirm that coding must be done, but all the master cyl and boosters are the same as the steel.

Ok so just spoke to a BMW SA and they said they can program the car. $230 for the programming. They also told me to tow the car to them. Does anyone know if this can be coded remotely? or if it really is that dangerous to drive it before coding it. I know it's a risk I get it and wanted your guys input.

Why risk driving it if they're telling you it needs to be towed to them? Just factor in the cost of towing the car along with the cost of dealer programming and purchase of the CCBs. That's the true cost of converting to CCBs.

How are you getting the system? Is it through getting the parts individually? I don't see the system available for purchase, such as for the F10 here: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/4...C-BRAKE-SYSTEM
