What are "compound brakes"?

What is meant by "compound brakes"? (as in the compound brakes on the M3 competition package) I looked all over google and couldn't find it defined anywhere other then a veiled reference to different pad material (ie ceramic or carbon fiber). Thanks.


it is the same as tyres. more grip they have less they can last BUT more grip they have!!!

They're in more than one part.

The rotors that is, when compared to the more usual BMW items
