When you also consider in the M2C brakes don't have removable caliper bridges at the front and weigh a ton they don't feel like much of an upgrade for track use. On the flip side they look fantastic, and feel excellent on the street with great pedal feel and are easy to modulate. Compared to the brakes put on M cars of the past (I'm looking at you E46!) they are light years ahead.
Do you need to replace the rear brakes to be able to run a 18" wheel?

If not, just stick to a front only BBK. Or stick to the OEM brakes and get a set of 19" track wheels, or just put RE71s on your stock wheels

There's no need for a full BBK unless you're tracking very seriously.
