They are ghastly, I get that.
I have read 0 complaints and really nothing but praise for the M3/M4 brakes which also have the floating caliper. So it's just a vanity thing.

Yes, ultimately a multi piston fixed caliper can generate more brake force in theory but from what I can tell the bmw floating caliper design can deliver the brake force that is actually needed for these cars performance

What bmw should have done is add a cover that makes it look like a giant fixed caliper…
