Are the bmw ceramics no good?

It's just the nature of the technology. They are an expensive consumable. If kept under 700C they will last a very long time. If you can get 100k miles or more out of them, then they are likely worth it from a purely financial perspective. Plus little brake dust, a little lighter, and they look great. If you don't put that many miles on the car, then you have to decide what the other bonuses are worth to you. Just remember that if you replace them with ceramic rotors after that many miles you've likely vested $20k US in brakes. Maybe $5k for steel, so is $15k worth it.
If you want them, get them. Worst case is you regret it. Spent 8k on the option and swap to steel.
