I agree with Tony (and enrita) - either keep your OEM discs and upgrade to steel lines and better pads, or go all the way with a BBK. The BMW Performance brakes are not intended to be used with our car, and the E93 is 200kg heavier again than the E90/E92, so it will not be an improvement. Tony trashed the Performance brakes in one afternoon at the 'Ring, IIRC.

I've been there and done that.

The stock brakes are very good and the 135 brakes aren't as great as you're lead to believe. I have experience with them both plus a Stoptech BBK, all on the track under hard braking on the same tracks.
