Brembo Breaks

Getting new 20" wheels (Vorsteiner V-FF 103's Carbon Fiber) for my 2016 550i M Sport.

I'm thinking of adding Brembo's but candidly....only because they look cool. That is truly ALL I know about why I would add these.

Please help me understand the basics of why adding Brembo's makes sense ...... beyond my simple minded aesthetics.

Should I bother? If so, does it make sense to add to both front & rear, or one or the other?

Thanks everyone.

the fronts alone is gonna cost you $3k+. i thought about doing this from a pure aesthetics point of view and finally decided it's just not worth it. do youself a favor and like everyone else paint your calipers.
