And, yes, I do understand you believe perfection is reasonable for the price you've paid.
I think the mistake here is framing a design flaw that routinely captures stones in a position where they are forcibly ground against the internals of the braking system as something having to do with comfort. Regardless of the benefits of tapering it so closely, theyre still cars that are driven on the road. Regardless of how many M cars have the same issue, that doesn't necessarily mean that BMW didn't get lazy along the way.

I get the idea of trading off comfort for performance - thats just not whats happening here.
