By the way, cancelled my order on the E63. Car got delayed to March, and the dealer had told me a lot of B.S. that wasn't real as I found out later. I am probably buying a used one, since it depreciates 40% in the First Year of Ownership in my side of the pond

Hey Carlos, I saw that Motortrend Head2Head against the Caddy CTS V where the braking distance was way off. I think it was "one off" as you alluded to with the other tests showing great numbers. As for my car, I have the CCCB's and they have been flawless, under cold usuage and heavy presses thru the canyon. I did bed them at mile 11 so there should be no squeaks and thus far they are quiet.
Thats unfortunate about your car... Im sure you will see a few samples, used, pop up soon.
