I have a brake question. I have owned an e86 previously and the brakes on that would make the car stand on end. Are the brakes on a preface lift 3.0i smaller/different? Addmittedly i havent hit the brakes hard in the 85 yet but the initial bite just doesnt seem to be as aggressive. :?
 
Yes they are smaller on prefaclift hence the common upgrade to larger 330d disks which will be the same as the Post facelift 3.0's

That said a stock Zed will still stop on a dime on standard brakes.
I suggest empty road and test properly that you can get the abs working

Probably different brake pads? Any clue what you had, & what you currently have??

No on both accounts. Changed my 330d fo the 85 so can feel the difference. They arent bad might research the upgrade though..
