Yes.
From my understanding the stock 335i calipers are 4 pot front and 2 pot rear.
The 328i has 2 pot front and 1 pot rear.
So the M Performance brake upgrade for the 328i is quite a good step up.

The only difference in the brakes with the Msport pkg is that Msports get a different, "more aggressive", brake pad.

You said that the M Performance pads are larger, thus having a larger swept area on the rotor. That's cool.
Is this comparing the Msport pads to the M Perf pads?
I'm not sure if the Msport pads are larger or if they are only of a different material compared to the stock pads.

Your review shows a very good positive effect, a decidedly positive review to offset the cost.
And they look great.
