I know that the Mperformance brakes are brembos but wasnt 100% if the stock blue (msport) was also brembos..i found my answer (but still not sure about the rears)

Pics from a f30 owner, on the left/backside of the caliper you can see "brembo"...not that it means anything but good to know

Cool thanks

M Sport brakes: fixed calipers, four-piston front, two-piston rear, large brake discs

Some Info on Fix vs Floating Calipers (im just copy/paste from someone)

The more even the pressure on the pads, the smaller the risk of the pads chattering and the better control you have over the pads.

Most brakes today are floating caliper, single-piston designs, though a few use floating caliper dual piston designs.

On a floating caliper setup, the piston is on only one side of the caliper and the caliper itself slides slightly side to side on pins. Fixed caliper setups have pistons on both sides of the caliper and the caliper does not slide at all. Fixed caliper setups provide more even brake pad wear than floating calipers and also provide more consistent pressure between the two sides of the caliper because this setup does not rely on the caliper's sliding.

Fixed caliper designs, of course, require at least two pistons; one for each side.

Larger pads provide a greater swept area which means a greater area over which heat is generated. Because the total heat for a given stopping force is always the same, greater swept area means better heat dissipation and less brake fade. Having multiple pistons per side helps apply more consistent pressure over the entire surface of the pad which not only allows the larger pads, but also reduces chatter and flex, both of which generate additional heat as well as reducing overall brake feel.

So, while a one-time emergency stop will not show much difference between a single piston sliding caliper and a 6-piston fixed caliper, the multi-piston fixed-caliper design will be more resistant to fade over several hard stops in quick succession.

I might be blind, but I don't see brembo anywhere on that caliper

The two circle area in the middle of the caliper, 1 side has "BMW" and the other has a square and "brembo"

But this is the front 4pot, im still not sure if te rears are also brembos

only brembo makes this ugly caliper design :\

Great to know.
