Will they somewhat pay for themselves with less maintance and more durability? How's their feel when you brake?
Also, 18 or 19"? I like the look of the 19 ones but i'm worried about ride quality and bumps.

Carbon Ceramic brakes for a 428i? Ahh, no dude.
Carbons are for track use and can be a horrible experience on streets. The stock brakes on an M Sport are already very good, but if you feel the need for more, the M Sport brakes are more than enough to slow the 428i.
If you want to go farther, there are other Brembo performance options for around $2400 that include bigger rotors and all the fixings.
$8K for carbons on a non ///M is just bad money. If you want the gold caliper clamps, just get them powder coated.
