A 600 EUR ($900-$1000) price for the M-sport brake option would be plenty extra.
On the other hand, BMW might logically charge more for the M-Sport brakes on the 328i, because there is more of a cost difference versus the standard brakes. Or maybe this is why BMW is probably using smaller, less expensive rotors on the 328i M-sport brakes.
