I'm not trying to argue that the M motors were not fun, just that the brakes were more noticably different to me. I've driven other cars with that much motor, but I have not driven other cars with such great brakes. It's not on a short term list for me but I've been thinking about a brake upgrade.

A full brembo BBK on a 128 would feel worse than a stock M car. Tires play a HUGE role in braking (much more than brakes in a venue like the performance center where you never really get to get on the car for any extended period of time), and you were comparing PS2s to run flats.
