are you kidding me? the e36 was and still is a very good performer int he braking department. find me another stock car that can stop from 60-0 in 112-113ft.
if i remember right bmw has said that they use single piston calipers because anything else isn't really necessary. even hardcore track guys with e36 M3s don't need to change to a bbk until they get into modded classes.
now the e46 M3 is a bit heavier and does suffer a bit for braking, but it's not the fault of the single piston calipers.
