Also bmw warns about high pitched squealing. They aren't joking either. My buddy had carbon ceramic brakes on his GT3 that squealed like crazy. To the point he didn't want to drive the car, it was embarrassing. Porsche didn't do anything about it, saying what bmw says "it is expected". I have seen a lot of guys trying to switch back to steel brakes on their porsches.
