Can't wait for the US allocation process to begin so people know where they stand. Trying to buy a limited edition car is tough.

It does seem out of place on an $83k car a bit.
BMWNA MSRP for each front rotor is $4377 and rear at $3752, so the four rotors have an MSRP of $16,258. The pads for them are $664 front and $467 rear for a total of $1131. Hence just rotors and pads total to an MSRP of $17,389.
17,389/83,600 = 20.8%. So a bit over 20% of the MSRP of the car for just the replacement brake parts...add in a couple of wear sensors and DIY labor plus buy discounted for maybe $14k. Still pretty pricey DIY brake job.
These are for the F8x parts, but I'd assume they're similar. I did a quick check of FCPEuro's site, and they show no hit on the CCB rotor part number. Their lifetime free replacement warranty is fantastic, but they're not crazy enough to offer the CCB rotors it appears.
