2: The pads are a royal PITA to change. Why do I have to unbolt crap to change the pads? On proper calipers I pull one or two pins and just slide the pads out.

I have not tried to change pads on the E92 but I know that on my previous E30 race car we could change front pads under a caution without losing a lap.Remove 1 bolt and swing the caliper out of the way and push the pistons back at the same time and you were good to go in under 3 minutes.
