If the M Braking System reduces braking by 10 feet, you'll be at 94.5'.

On a modern BMW, a $2000 braking system will probably reduce braking from 60MPH by -1 feet, because the rotors are heavier.
The brakes are not the limiting factor, the tires are.
Can you engage ABS with your factory brakes? Yes? Then you need better, stickier, wider tires.

Those brakes aren't the only difference between it and a BMW. It also has a V10. The V10 is the reason it stops so fast, clearly.
