This braking CLUNK noise is quite prevalent in Acuras. I suggest you raise HELL with your servicing dealer. Maybe clas action lawsuit may help them get their act together.....

Well the accords don't reach 130 usually, and the braking system is not really the best. Can't compare it with a beemer at all. That's why high performance cars and good braking systems incorporate slotted or crossed drilled rotors, to help cool them faster. Sounds like the beemer was just one of those fools that thinks that because it's a beemer that it is the Sh1t and that it would whoop on anyone completely stock. If that is so, then he deserved to crack his discs.
