Doesn't the M3 on its crappy agricultural brakes have a similar (if not better) brake performance than the 135?
The M3 brakes may not be jazzy expensive multi piston designer named anchors but they are relatively cheap, low maintenance and do the business on the street and with a pad/fluid upgrade they are plenty good enough for the casual tracker.
I know most of you guys fully understand the pros and cons of a BBK but there are also plenty of peeps who get bamboozled into thinking they need a BBK, and fully expect significantly shorter braking distances as the principle benefit.
