Wait, it just occurred to me that the F80 has fixed piston rear calipers. Does the G80 not have them at all? Or do you lose them when you get the carbon ceramics?

Looks like no fixed rear calipers. I don't get it. What a weird place to economize. I mean, yeah, BMW has always been cheap on calipers, but still...
