I'm not sure I follow your logic, but here's my take: People are happy to have an alternative for upgraded OEM parts that will be installed by their trusted dealer techs. When it comes to brakes, they are R&D'd by Brembo and are likely no better than the BBK's that Brembo (or StopTech, AP, etc.) manufacture and sell aftermarket. I just don't see any reason for an M owner to long for a set of rebranded Brembos when they can buy brakes that are equal (or better, in many cases) quality, unless they just feel better about having an M on their calipers. When I order my F31 M Sport, I will be happy if the big blue brakes are included as part of the package, but would likely NOT opt for the M Performance brakes if the price is just as much as a set of quality aftermarket big brakes.
