Carbon Ceramic Rotors
Hey guys and gals, I’m about a month into my M5 search and I came across a car about 2 hours away that caught my interest. It’s a 2019 with 40k miles, and it’s well optioned. The thing that caught my eye was the one pic they provided of the wheel/rotor. I know it’s just one picture, but these carbon ceramic rotors look odd (heavy wear?) to me. What do you think?

Picture is very low quality.. but hopefully you can ask the seller if its ever been tracked and he will give you an honest answer. Although true indications of wear on CC rotor is to weigh it and also check the wear indicator on the rotor itself.

That photo looks a heck of a lot like a steel rotor to me Larger cross drilled holes and in the same pattern as the steel rotors (it appears) Hard to say for sure. |

I don't know if you can tell the difference in the caliper, I haven't studied them enough to know if there is a physical difference by looking, but the possibilities could be painted the steel caliper, or its a car that came with CCB, and they for some reason (cost savings, or mistake?) installed steel rotors which to me would be a red flag. |

I'm not sure you could order the car with gold calipers as an option, unless it was CCB? I'm sure someone would know if that was possible? If not, they were swapped or painted. But the photo you posted is definitely a steel brake rotor. The gold caliper? Not sure if its a swap from a CCB car, gold from factory or they painted the standard steel caliper gold.

It's the wrong LOGO on the Caliper for CCB, they are Painted Steel IMO.

The logo is the same for steel and CCB. Plus how can you even tell from that blurry pic lol.

if it was a failed attempt at a brake swap or had CCBs and now are gone, thats a red flag to me. in person should be pretty easy to tell if it's a paint job or swapped. unless its a really really good paint job. I have to believe if you inspected close enough you'd be able to see if they were painted. Maybe not, but could at least compare color, or the logo, to an actual CCB caliper. |

Thanks guys, I’m not sure if this is allowed here but here is a link to the car at the Lexus dealer.
