OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT.

M8 Competition
Options
M Carbon Ceramic Brakes, with matte Gold brake calipers and ‘M’ logo.
Note: Dependent on condition and usage, features specific to the materials used can lead to operational noises particularly in wet conditions just
2NK before the vehicle comes to a halt. The impact of moisture and road salt can cause the braking action to be equivalent to a conventional braking 
system. This can, for a short time, be experienced as a reduction in braking action and can be balanced out by greater pressure on the pedal
where necessary.
