I don't think it is any longer at least. They seem to prefer high bite and high friction for sure, but I had a couple 2 series UKL loaners and they clearly have some kind of ceramic or low dust pad vs the bigger cars, but the bite still felt fine. BMW brakes are so overboosted I would assume they can get away with a less bitey pad.
