What impresses me about BMW brakes is how easy they are to modulate and control and the firmness of the pedal.
I agree that having to apply maximum brake effort should be rare in everyday driving. However, in the few cases you do have to, a car that can slow down faster could save you from an accident or make the accident less severe.
