Interesting.... I didn't know that. I may look into that once parts become available. That would be a nice upgrade. I exchanged multiple conversations with the Tronik folks in Russia, and to date, "upgrades" to the M50i just aren't worth it. That may change once a few X5Ms have been crashed, and parts become available.

Rear brakes need an upgrade FAR sooner though. I can't believe BMW is still installing those same single piston cast calipers on the rear.... PARTICULARLY on the X5M..... that's just embarrassing and shameful.
