Brembo's are sweet brakes...my GT500 came with them and they do slow you down in a hurry. I don't know how many pistons they have though...is there an easy way to tell by looking at the calipers 
It all rolls on 19-by-9.5-inch wheels wrapped in massive tires measuring 255/45ZR19. And the brakes are equally impressive. The Brembo front rotors are 14 inches in diameter, cross-drilled and clamped by four-piston aluminum calipers. In back, Thai-Tang and his crew chose 13-inch rotors and four-piston calipers.

Cool, maybe now BMW will powder coat the calipers or somehow paint them so the finish actually looks nice...
Here is some more pics of the 135i brakes from auto shows.
They are Black calipers with silver BMW lettering.
I will try to get some better pictures.
The best place to see them is on the 1-series microsite, on bmwusa.com

Click on the 135i, then "Athleticism", then "Brakes".
