I agree with you...why produce a high end car (like the M3) with shitty looking brakes.
But, I disagree in that I do not think the stock M3 brakes look shitty. They don't perform as I'd like them to on the track, but I personally do not think they look shitty.
I do think my previous 335i brakes did look shitty though...but I don't think a 335i is a high end car. Heck, even the M3 is borderline "high end" IMO.
I generally reserve that term for a Porsche C2S, Noble, R8, Aston Martin etc ($100k price point) ; but this is purely personal opinion.

I agree with you, hence why I specifically said: "who pays retail?"


My M3 also retailed for close to $90k when you factor in tax.... no way I'd pay that for a M3, that's a little steep.
