My Ride: BMW E-60 530I
beats me man. I'm not sure. Did what I mention effect yours in any way? I was assuming that it was because I was going from 1 piston to two but I honestly think my bleed job wasn't up to par. I mean, when it bites it bites hard. But just a little later than my old setup. When I say a little I mean really... just a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit, I just thought the the minute the pedal felt anything it would bite HELLA hard. maybe i just need to get used to it. 
bro be honest, i think i also have this response delay. I thought it could have been my oem pads, where the initial bite is not as aggressive. But when they do bite they do bite pretty solid.
I might have my brakes bled again, but i would imagine M5 brake booster to be different from non-M e60s.

My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Thanks for the compliments everyone.
I actually have a heated sport steering wheel to put on, but the bay vendor sent me the wrong damn airbag. He had the correct airbag listed for my car, but sent me the post 2005 one. I also wanted to do the paddle retrofit kit, but the sport steering wheel I bought doesn't have the slits for the paddles. That was a heart breaker.
If that really is the case I wonder why no one ever started a thread about it. The non M's that is. Im sure it's something that can be corrected. I hope so at least 
. Im still hella happy with it.

Sachal,
I dug a little deeper and I found a few posts in one of Rizbel's threads and he did in fact upgrade to the stainless steal lines. Im hoping that this will solve the problem, but only time can tell. I sent him a PM. Hopefully Ill hear back from him in a bit.
