This. While the brakes are smaller on the 2.8, I certainly didn't notice it on test drives. I do find the initial bite of the newer pads feels great, but the actual braking performance is lacking, at least (unfairly) compared to our 135i with the old style of pads, or much more unfairly, my old M Coupe. I'd change to the old style pads in a second.
