But why does BMW cut corners on the calipers? EVERY peformance car you can think of has multipiston brakes and its almost a visual cue to look at. you can tell in some cars that the car has special brakes like on my GT3. I have the Ceramic brakes and it has a special yellow caliper with the Porsche logo
on the side. BMW has an ugly gray non item.
Even the BMW performance brakes are gold 6 piston calipers. ANd they fu@ked up that design too looks like a banana caught in the wheel.
Ferrari decorates their calipers with optional colors.
BMW has many great developments in the auto world and drops the ball
on the brakes. Any one know the story? Doesnt BMW wonder why the
Brembo upgrade package for the M3 is so popular?

This is why. (linky)

And this helps, too. (another linky)
