Eh? Under what circumstances could worse brakes be better?
High performance sedans, such as the Model S and F10 M5 don’t just need big brakes because of their speed, but also their weight.
2 piston calipers up front on either of those cars would be dangerous. What happens if the driver has to make a sudden stop? For this reason sedans and SUVs tend to have at least 4 piston calipers up front, 6 for performance models.
Never have I thought for a second, on road or on track, “Gosh.. I wish I had crappier brakes”.
