Old school brakes had "smaller" brakes at rear to avoid locking up rear wheels.
For some reason, BMW has gone to more aggressive rears, which they can because ABS will prevent locking up.
My brakes are doing "the job" - good initial bite and will activate ABS when needed - without having to "stand" on the pedal.
Note: many years ago there was conducted an experiment in the US, where it was determined that many - I don't remember the % - did not step hard enough on the brakes to initiate ABS. Since todays cars have "panic help" i.e. system senses velocity of increase in brake fluid pressure, and adds to braking, there are, probably, more "ABS-brakings"
