I know what you're saying, but the 135 brakes have a lot in common with Porsche GT3 brakes, so they're pretty decent calipers, but apparently the pads are a little on the small side.

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.

The problem with the stock brakes is they're not up to snuff for track work. You change the fluid... you just lost your warranty/service for the brakes.
My main point is there's no reason for us not to have fixed caliper brakes in a $64+ car. I think most would agree fixed calipers are better than a sliding calper.
