Waste of money unless you take the car to the track or have nice, long, mountainous roads at your disposal. When I drove the M6 at the PC, the brakes were fine until laps 12-15 doing the big circuit that was over a mile long with a million corners. I think the 2nd most legit argument for them is that you just want the carbon brakes for the novelty, bragging rights, etc.

I've had my F13 650xi for 17 months and have never wanted more from my brakes - but my car's never been to the track...
