Very interesting read, jts. Didn't know the guys over at F10 are trying to retrofit better brakes like us too. As amazing as the M5 BBK is though, it may be cost prohibitive. Cheapest I can find new M5 calipers for the front are $650/side = $1300 + shipping. Looks like that guy is selling his bracket for $700 shipped to the US from Russia. That's $2,000 already. Rotors are $380/side = $760. Add in brake pads, lines and heat shield and you're at the $3,000 mark. At the point, you might as well get the real Brembos that were actually designed for our the E89. Probably won't mess with the balance or need coding (that doesn't exist) either. It would be a something to actually consider if the brackets can be had for cheaper.

But man, oh man... do they look amazing
