I, too, have ponyed up for the brass guide pins for (hopefully) better feel, modulation and wear. If I had a 135 I'd probably start by looking at the stainless piston options, but I don't.

I wasn't specifically asking about your reasons, more a general question. Why do ///M cars come with floating calipers? Stock M3 brakes are known as "Soft" and "Squishy" feeling. And I know the 335i brake upgrade for the 128i is the way to go.
