In lieu of that, is the BMW autographed model BBK kit a worthwhile add on?
I'm asking about brakes here and IF BMW offered a 125iS with better brakes, I'd buy one of those.

To address all your concerns you should order the 128i BBK from BMW Performance. Just understand that 17" wheels will not fit, to do so you will need to switch Rotors for the winter to stock 135i size. The rebuild kits for these brakes are pretty effective if they are ever damaged due to racing type of abuse.
125i brakes apparently are weaker in the rear(info from a thread regarding 135i bbk on 128i)
