Is the M Performance Brake Kit (Red) Worth It?

So I looked into the M Performance Brake Kit upgrade for the G42.

The standard M Sport brakes are Brembo 4-piston front and 1-piston rear calipers. The M Performance Brake Kit contains 4-piston front and 2-piston rears, with bigger 18" disks in the front.

For those who have used them before (maybe on the M340i or the M440i), are they worth it? Or am I better off waiting for new brakes to be released by other brands (possibly with 6-piston calipers)...

I am coming from a f80 comp and spec'd these on my car. I can honestly say it was worth it for the stopping power. From the reviews it seems most of them come away saying the standard brakes don't have enough force for the speed of the car.

These brakes are an option on the 240, or you got them on your f80
