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.
I see what you are saying in regards to all the aftermarket parts. I know there is a ton of options out there. I just can't figure out why they will not offer the M specific parts to the people that owns an M vehicle. Some might want parts sold by BMW and installed by the dealership. I would like to have these M brakes added to my car by the dealership as this will matter when it comes to my warranty. If I start adding these aftermarket performance parts the warranty is out the window, but maybe that's what they want?
