Why they put brembo in front and TWR in back.
I have a 335 and they put brembo (rear and front).

G30 has electric parking brake, 3-series doesn't. TRW has also made the rear brake unit for the F10.

More like cutting cost. Supercars and even tesla , alfa giulia qv have dual calipers for rear. A small caliper for parking with electronically switch and a brembo for rear brake.

Rear single piston sh1t, because BMW is cutting cost. Just like Audi except R8 and all Mercedes.
