Oh, if you want true Brembo-branded 6-pot front calipers and 4-pot rears, you're paying $8,000. The BMW calipers are made by Brembo, but they're heavier and not the same caliber as the Brembo-branded big brake kits. The Brembo rotors are a better 2-piece design rather than the BMWs hybrid 2-piece design. The true Brembo BBK is probably extreme overkill for anything but a pure track car. The BMW Brembo calipers with an aluminum piston upgrade might be 80% as good and 20% of the cost. If you're wiping your ass with $100 bills, I'd get the true Brembo kit, otherwise you can upgrade to a really good setup for around $1,300 + $230 for aluminum pistons.
