I suppose it depends on one's usage. I, for myself, do "normal" driving, thus feel the stock is adequate for my driving style. Also, bigger brakes mean more dead weight overall. Cost is a factor too. Good luck w/ your new brakes, if you take that route. w/ smiles Jimmy

2007 Väth SL65 AMG. 2007 BMW Alpina B5s. 2007 BMW M6.
Just remove the last silencors/mufflers (1 on each side).
And just put straight pipes there instead.
But at the same time, you should put AMG-like tips there instead of the stock tips!
And then,you will get the sound and looks like my old one had.
I was VERY pleased by that look and sound!
