Well E70 didn't have them either, did it? I think BMW understands that X5M is not a car you're going to track - and that is the only reason why someone might actually need CCBs installed. And if it's pure show off mode, then you can always shop non-OEM CCBs for pretty much anything, i.e. Brembo.

The near complete elimination of brake dust would be one of my top purchase choices. A close second being the lifespan CCB brings.

I would definitely order them up.

I wonder if the M4 CCB's could be retrofitted?

Was thinking the same thing, if i could retrofit the M5/M6 CCBs on my ordered X6M. I know they are not needed because nobody really tracks these cars, but since the Cayenne guys have them on the cars, why couldn't we?

LE: anything can be fitted if wanted. From what i see in pics, X6M/X5M have the same brakes as M5/M6. But for sure the caliper carriers are different, due to different hubs (how cool would it be that F16/F15 have the same hubs as F10/F13?). Found M6/M5 CCBs on ebay.de at 6800EUR. A good shop can make new rotor bells and caliper carriers in order to make them fit to X6M/X5M.
But after this comes the problem of brake/ABS pump. On realoem.com at M6 Brake section, you have CCB retrofit kit for 15k $ which also includes a different ABS pump.
