OP: I have the M-sport package on my 540 G31 and cannot remember ever feeling that the brakes did not modulate well.
In fact, even in comparison with my F80 I am pleasantly surprised both by the feel of the brakes and also their stopping power. I haven't tried to torture test them, repeated retardation from 250km/h on autobahn this summer (in sweltering 45°C) were not a problem, so I am happy. Are you sure yours have bedded in properly? I cannot recall any extensive bedding-in period on mine, but perhaps that can explain the difference? |

Yeah it was me questioning the M Sport Brakes. They are very good brakes but I have not so far liked the pedal feel. My recent points of comparison are my 2010 E60 (on which I never replaced original pads in nine years and 46,000 miles), my 2016 Corvette Z06 with standard steel brake rotors, my wife's 2014 328xi and two mid 90s ZR-1s. All have had very impressive brakes that are strong and linear in feel. I don't find the M Sport brakes linear. First half inch to one inch of pedal travel nothing happens, even the Cruise Control doesn't kick off. Next inch or so is normal and if you really hit them hard they really grab. Overall I am happy with their stopping power, just the pedal feel seems out of sync for me. I will check with my dealer, drive a few of their cars, and see if there might be something wrong with my car's brakes or if it is just my imagination. --Bob
