The Z's brakes have to be the smallest Brembo brakes I have ever seen on a car, so if its not there for marketing, then I don't why they are on there.
But whatever, I'm sure the "Brembo" sticker helps it stop the car fine in comparison to the other cars in its price range. They're still a lot better than cheap BMW brakes
so overall they really aren't that bad.

When you say 'BMW brakes' are you referring to particular models? There's plenty of factory equipped cars that have zero trouble under track conditions as long as they're equipped with some proper pads and fluid.
Just because they're not pretty monoblock calipers dressed in red paint doesn't mean they're inferior.

My Porsche's brakes are awesome, but my Z's brakes aren't bad either.
The only thing I felt was that there is a better balance in the braking system on my Porsche compared to my Z.
The Z's Brembo brakes are enough for many.

So these complaints you've got about the M5 and M3's brakes are sheerly aesthetic? Or have you noticed brake fade while threshold braking around town? Just curious.
