They're essentially the same.
No need for the disrespect or attacks.

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.
