they are truly not that much better. I have said this on here before, but a good friend of mine who has a '95 m3 have competed in "brake offs". When he was on axis ultimate pads and I was on hawk HPS' my car stopped quicker. So I would def. recommend getting a set of great pads (like the Hawk HPS) and enjoy the stopping power they provide. If that doesn't do it for you then look into the UUC big brake kit for ~$1000.
note: Don't underestimate the m3 brakes. I do not want any m3 owners or other purists to get upset with me. The m3 on hawk HT-10's or even HP Plus' stops brutally hard, much harder than my 325.

There is a big difference but it has to do with a number of things. In order to switch to M3 calipers, you have to switch to the M3 hub assemblies, rotors, and master cylinder. The master cylinder can push more fluid into the calipers for better pedal feel. You also would have to run 17" wheels.
