Porshe Brakes are Brembo Units (archive)

I talked to Steve D' Gerolamo of the ultimate garage who imports the Movit stuff. The problem is a weak bearing design...it's different than all other BMWs, basically it wears out faster...floating caliper brakes like the stock ATE calipers are more forgiving of the runout. Steve will only sell the 322mm (12.6") kit for the car as it is less affected by the bearing problem than the 330mm or 380mm (what I would want) kits... BTW Porsche Calipers are brembo units with a few changes to make the more suitable for road applications.

I am tempted to install the Euro floating rotors on my soon to be delivered M5, hoping that they will be better for driving schools (less fade?). Does anyone have any experience with this swap or should I take the $$$ plunge for the Movits.

The only problem that concerns me about the movit Porsche brake set up is the run out of the wheel bearings. As bearing wear increases the possibility of warping the rotors increases.
Which brings another question. Has any one uppgraded to the Brembo brakes? And is there an issue with the wheel bearing run out with the Brembo set up?
