I am not sure how in USA, but in UK it is just impossible to find M5 brakes, spent 6 month searching without any luck, only saw once on ebay but was over priced. I think seller was asking £1500 for all kit, but discs needed replacing.

I did the same.... may not be "brembo" or anything like that, but if it can stop a M5 then its good enough for me!!!

Now we know why...... Just pick yourself up some drilled/slotted rotors. Done. A lot easier and cheaper then complete new brakes..... you then can go ahead and paint your calipers. Drilled rotors do look cool. Just did mine!!
