Thank your for the write up. Would you mind sharing a cost estimate for the parts? Thanks!

I bought everything new, and likely spent around $6-6.5k. I sourced parts from BMW Northwest, GetBMWParts and eBay.

Surely you can source a used set of calipers to save a few bucks.

For a sub-$100k car that is carrying the S68 weight up front I wish BMW would've offered the M Competition brakes as an option (not the M Sport). What began as a desire after seeing Ninefourteener detailed thread turned into reality this past weekend.

Installation

Overall pretty straight forward. Similar to Ninefourteener's experience it's worth disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery so that you avoid any CELs with the ABS system; once I completed the installation I needed to recalibrate the parking brakes before the CELs would clear.

One thing to note, the M-car wheel hub is a different part number and you will not be able to bolt down the rotor to the hub if you don't change this. I elected not to change the hub for now, and instead opted for an [...]

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if F95 REAR calipers bolt up without any issue, and you were able to confirm that.

Done any 60-0 stops with a draggy. Curious what distance you’re getting.

Haven't done anything of that nature, that wasn't the goal with the change, it's purely aesthetics for me.
