M performance brakes for 328i
I read a lot of feed back on this forum about the M-Performance brakes, and the general consensus appears to be in favor or stock, unless you just want them for purely aesthetic reasons. However, I'm seeing most of the neutral feedback from 335 owners, who technically already have the beefed up brakes. My question is, is it worth getting them on a 328, and is there a bigger sensation when switching, as opposed to upgrading the already good 335 brakes. Thanks!.

Have the m-performace brakes on my 328i and love them. I had a loan 3 series with standard brakes and to be honest they felt sharper at low speed BUT when pushing on a bit or trying to scrub off speed on a motorway the m brakes are far better. They also look nicer as well, hate to see cars with big wheels and little brakes.

One of the first things I noticed when i test drove my 428i before buying was how bad the brakes are compared to my previous Audi. I find the stock 428 brakes to be a bit grabby at very low speeds and without much feel and power at higher speeds. This is on my upgrade list after I get coilovers installed. Oh and as @k44ent mentioned, they look awesome!!!!!!!

I installed them at the beginning of the year, they look awesome and the feel of the brake is very good. The only issue is how insane is the dust that they produced, just one day after washing the car and the wheels will look very dark because of the dust.

I consider it a safety upgrade - you get better braking capacity and less fade + they look better. I´m very pleased with my M Sport brakes (blue caliper) which are essentially the same ones except for non dimpled rotors.
