Basic stopping power is courtesy of a four-wheel ventilated disc setup, though there’s a bevy of standard technology that aids in the effort. Also included on the 2007 BMW 3 Series Coupe is Brake Fade Compensation, which increases pressure when the brakes get hot and possibly lose effectiveness; Brake Standby readies the pads against the rotors when the driver comes off the gas quickly; Brake Drying is used in wet conditions by occasionally brushing the pads against the discs to eliminate moisture; Dynamic Brake Control supplements the driver’s brake pressure in the event of a sudden stop; and Start-off Assistant briefly prevents rolling back on hill starts. Antilock brakes are also standard.
