BTW, People haven't been complaining about the current M5 / M6 brakes much, but some who race them have replaced them with even larger brake discs from Brembo. The old E39 M5 had BMW's own brakes, not Brembo, which faded in basically just one fast lap on almost any track. So it would be a good guess they'll probably use the same parts as on the M5 / M6, maybe an improved model. Porsche offers the option of having improved OEM Brembos on some of their models, perhaps BMW M might do the same at some point. But then again, usually they don't offer many or any such tech options as their approach and mindset is to make the car "perfect" on one go, without you needing to buy extra options for it to perform well. In that aspect the OEM Brembo's were a great move. I was dissapointed to see they didn't do the same for the Z4 M's, which had to do with the worse M3 CSL brakes. Then again, it weighs so much less that the brakes are not going to have to face so much wear and tear anyway as on the M5/M6.
