So why do the e60 m5 come standard with 2 piston calipers? Why are the e60 m5 brakes designed to stop the car at 180+ mph? Granted I know they have a different rotor.
I compared the size of the e60 m5 pads to the f01 pads, and they are bigger as well.
If I'm wrong, please educate me. Not trying to start a pissing match or a war among anyone, Just trying to help the community.
I currently have f01 brakes on my f10. Ive had the e60 m5 caliper laying around for a while and was experimenting.

So, the F01 750i brake pads actually have slightly more surface area than the M5 e60 brake pad. This is understandable as the 750 is bigger/heavier. However, as I mentioned earlier, the 760i or Alpina has even more impressive braking power due to even bigger surface area. I know ppl dis on rock auto but check out the measurements listed in the picture.
Left is 750i, middle is e60 M5, Right is 760i/Alpina
