I had plans to upgrade to the M5 OEM brakes (purchased calipers already) but those plans changed after I purchased the JBT BBK's from member "cm55". The front calipers are huge (8 piston) and rear are 4 piston. They fill out the gap from the stock brake look. Better yet, I finally got rid of my eye sore from the rusting stock brakes. It gives a nice contrast and really brings out the look of my wheels.
... what-a mighty big break you have there! ... looks great! ...

Thanks for ALL the compliments guys.
Just got them installed yesterday. Have not had a chance to do any "spirited" driving to see how they perform.
Had my newly found independent mechanic install them for me. Was basically a bolt-on installation. Watch him do the complete install. Only had to trim rear dust shield to accommondate for the larger caliper size and had to use really thin rear spacer for clearance on the rear wheels.
Here is JBT website for more details.
