Why?
Brake feel, ceramic's are shockingly powerful during regular driving, we are talking big toe dose all your braking.
This is a bad reason, IMO. They really aren't "shockingly powerful" in regular use. If you are confusing BMW's overboosted brake pedal with stopping power, then yes.

If you actually want a ridiculously touchy brake pedal, then you want the M2C 2NH steel brakes. I have driven the both M2C and the CCBs on M3 and M4, and there is more bite vs pedal input on the 2NH steel brakes. The CCB have more bite than the older F8x blue brakes, but again, I am not sure this is even a good thing as it makes it harder to modulate.

The CCBs have legitimate benefits, but this isn't really one of them.
