Why so many complaints about the exhaust? The M2C's S55 uses twin turbos so it will naturally require more exhaust components. Considering the healthy power bump over the N55, I don't see how anyone could complain. It's also mostly in the rear of the car which should help to balance out the heavier engine.
Brakes are probably overkill, though. If the base M3 can get by with the 4 piston calipers, then the M2C can as well. It definitely seems like a fairly large compromise in unsprung weight for what is largely a cosmetic upgrade for most people.
