Please show me? What "recent BMW's" are you referring to exactly. Show me the distances. Is this just more conjecture? If not back it up with facts please.
Prove me wrong. I read four or five car magazines, but recall that all X1 braking distances have been Honda like and the M Sport was better, but still longer than the E91 xDrive, which if you're playing along at home, you may know is a, wait for it, X1 by any other name.

Further, US F30s have had longer braking distances than E90s, even with better tires. The exception has been the M Sport which does still come with the old style, non US pads.
