That being said, lots of people run the 380mm ST or Brembo kits and are happy with them (notwithstanding the greater difficulty with wheel clearance). However, I doubt that the 378mm kit will have significantly better thermal capacity than the 368mm kit.
I could be wrong but I thought Brake Pros was the only authorized US importer of AP Racing "street" BBKs?

Nevertheless, I agree that the 368 mm rotor is sufficient in terms of thermal capacity for the e9x M3. I'm running the PFC BBK with a 372 mm rotor and I've never encountered any type of brake issue. If PFC offered a larger rotor I would still use the 372 mm rotor.
