The M Performance parts are terrible. Would have rather seen something like CF fenders with upper vents a la Porsche GT3 RS.
I don't even know what to say about the rear brake caliper...I guess I'd like to know more about the engineering behind this design. If all the weight is transferred to the front of the car during braking, then do larger rear calipers really have a purpose anyway? How do these floating rear calipers hold up under serious track use? I can't imagine BMW would really use them on a M car if they didn't get the job done...
I'm ready for LCI...big time.

Those puny rear calipers are necessary for the new e-parking brake. They really suck for track use because you wont be able to perform a track side brake job without bringing your laptop with you to reset the parking brake. As for their size, maybe with all that front weight bias, BMW figured the rear brakes wont be working that hard
