It is a sporty luxury car, not a high performance vehicle.

The big brakes package for the F30 provides you with bragging rights and, hopefully, better modulation and fade resistance. If you can already lock up the brakes and invoke ABS with the stock system - which you can easily do - bigger, painted calipers will not decrease braking distance; there is no additional braking to be had.
