Only enthusiasts will notice, then after they look at the decal they'll see how unimpressive the caliper looks. Not saying they don't work fine on the street, but I wouldn't want to call attention to them. The rotors are really nice, though!

I don't think anyone is complainin about the rotor size. I do think it's about time BMW went to a fixed caliper in the M cars. It's just wrong to have a sliding caliper in a $65k car, even if it works just fine.

I was on track (Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in the UK) yesterday with the guys at Drivers Republic..... after 4 hard laps their E90 M3 brakes were fading badly (they had sports pads fitted a few days before). I'm a little surprised at how quickly fade set in although Silverstone is a long track.....

They still have that annoying "hill assist" or whatever it's called where it holds the brakes for you when on an incline for like 2 seconds. I hate it and this is definitely soccer-mom brake functionality!
