Wow completely uncessary IMO unless you track. E60 brakes would suck complete arse on a track but are potent and great for even the most aggressive driving around town. I drive the heck out of my car and my brakes suit me just as well. The stopping distance for the e60 is actually pretty good. Why you wanna upgrade

for looks of course. No one on the st needs more than the stock brakes but hey, if you got $10k burning a hole in your pocket, go for the 20 pot brakes with ceramic or carbon discs! More pistons does not equal better performance. even IRL cars ive seen stripped down dont use more than 6 piston brakes.
