First we are talking about what the brakes look like & perform like. 135 has an option of better brakes if you buy the BMW performance brake kit, you have an option there don't you.
Second, you said get a better model in the range with better brakes, again you tell me what model has 4 or 6 piston good looking brakes compared to a AMG brake.
There's none, so I actually have to down grade to a one series to get a half decent caliper.
And if you read my thread properly I stated that you lived in Australia, but it looks like your eyes are faster than your brain.
So as I said BMW needs to do better in there brake dept and offer options in there luxury car & M class where braking is a concern.
And for your info my X5 e70 TT diesel has as standard a larger rotors than is on the V8 X5 and it's got s**t looking calipers as well.
The M3 should have better brakes, its a performance car, and people are not happy.
