drum brakes for the most part.. are good enough for the street...

and to not choose the clearer better design design..
then yes.... i would say that the person that would choose the single piston is just not as knowledgeable.. or doesn't have driving experience...

in case you didn't realize...the e9x M3 IS a STREET car...licensed, designed and approved for street use...I am aware of no racing series using a showroom M3 as it's standard car...the license plate brakets are a dead give away...
I would say the person who would pay 5k for a bbk with no tangible benfit, and actually disadvantages on a street car, is the less informed, and chooses based on 'form' not function...
they do so based on a lack of mechanical knowledge, driving experience, both road & track, and are easliy swayed by arguements based solely on 'bling'...not fact..
to each their own...they gotta sell this stuff to someone...you know the old saying, a sucker born every minute, a fool and his money are soon parted...chia pets
btw, your whole premise is invalid...you assume it's a better design, that is not correct...they each have their strengths & weaknesses, and on a street car (and moderate driving school, etc. use) the sliding are a better application...
I gurantee, if they were painted, people wouldn't give a shyte
