P.S. 115-119 is not "bad." Moreover, oddly, the average driver will use less than 50% of maximum braking available - even in an emergency. Drivers are typically afraid of the performance of any vehicle, even one in which they are comfortable. It is weird.
this information is from Edmunds

"Braking is disappointing, too. The 2012 BMW 328i stops from 60 mph in 115 feet, and shows fade by the fourth stop. The A4 stopped in 103 feet, and the last 335i we tested managed 109 feet as did the G25."

It is what it is i think every feet is very important when it comes to emergency. Before in different occasions i end up stopping few inches before i rear ended someone.

People do not realize but your tires and your brakes are one of the most important factors to avoid an accident. Of course besides Human mistakes.
