I've been a loyal M3 customer for years now - and one of the things I love about my F80 is how easy it is to swap pads back and forth. Unless BMW or someone else comes up with a practical solution to this issue - I'll consider other manufacturers for my next track car (whether or not a dual-purpose daily driver).

It really sucks they went this way. Here I was, completely convinced BMW would just use the M2c brakes on the G8X.
There has been a trend in the last few years to build gigantic front calipers with little itty bitty rear ones. I don't get it.
One could think it's limited to BMWs (X5M, M5, G8X M) but it isn't. I recall seeing the ceramic rotors with sliding rear calipers in the C63 and Merc GT.
