BMW does not make Performance brakes for the 335.

I think you'll find this interview very informative:

335i brakes are already as good as the performance brakes, they will fit but whats the point?

Maybe he likes the gold/cross drilled combination.


OP, many have said that 335i stock brakes in fact feel grabbier and stop more efficiently than BMW Performance brakes, which are really intended for 328i's.

Even if he likes the look of the performance brakes surely the point of spending cash upgrading your brakes is to make them stop the car better AP racing and Brembo are expensive but good options for the 335i.
