How OWNSILENT manufactures C/SiC rotors
Inside the carbon-ceramic production process
These production references document OWNSILENT's general carbon-ceramic manufacturing process — carbon-fibre preparation, preform production and precision machining. They are reference production photography and are not specific to this vehicle.
Prepared carbon strip cutting
This photograph documents continuous material handling at the cutting station without assuming the machine's unverified operating settings.
Layered carbon material feed
The visible roller path shows how broad prepared material is supported and advanced through the production line.

Frequently asked questions
6 Series carbon-ceramic upgrade, explained
Why upgrade a 6 Series to carbon-ceramic brakes?+
A carbon-ceramic upgrade reduces rotational and unsprung weight, improves fade resistance under sustained high-speed or track use, and resists the corrosion that affects iron rotors over time.
Does this cover the Coupe, Convertible, Gran Coupe and Gran Turismo?+
No single dimension covers every body style. Rotor diameter, thickness, offset, hat depth and caliper clearance are confirmed against the verified body style and VIN before production.
Can the factory calipers be retained?+
In many applications the upgrade is engineered around the verified factory caliper. Optional forged 6-piston calipers can be quoted where bracket design, hydraulic balance and wheel-barrel clearance support the conversion.
Is this a direct bolt-on upgrade?+
The rotor and hardware are engineered to the confirmed factory mounting relationship, but professional installation, torque checks and bedding remain required for a safe conversion.
What information should I send for a quotation?+
Send the VIN, body style and year, wheel size, clear photographs of the current rotors and calipers, and any OEM part numbers visible on the components.
Who should install the upgrade?+
Installation, torque procedures, brake-fluid checks, bedding and final road-safety inspection must be completed by a qualified brake technician.
