I'll be able to chime in on the F25 brakes in a week. I do recall the E70 and even my 335is felt like a soft brake pedal when new. After a few 100 miles on the clock, I did a bedding in procedure with the E70 which helped a lot. Those brakes now feel incredible when stopping a 5200 pound SUV. But its rotors were much larger than the F25.

Simply do a half dozen hard near stops in a row from 60ish and then give them time to cool down before parking. That definitely helps in the bite department.
