Just get Carbotech pads and you'll be good to go.

Only if you're ok with losing your handbrake. That's why the M4 has good looking brakes at the rear and the M5/M6 don't.

My 2014 E63s had 4piston rear brakes,Aesthetically it looked good but it had a internal drum for the parking brake and a manual foot pedal to press down it sucked!
I would take the ugly rear caliper with the electronic brake any day over that , actually the new E63s went the same route they use a ugly rear caliper for electronic brake
