TiAgX5 is on a distinguished road
Got a chance to drive these for over 1 hr on the Hwy last night, heavy rain/cool weather. The instant bite when wet brakes are applied is one of the things I was hoping for and they don't dissappoint. The 1 or 2 seconds of pad hydroplane/no braking force is totally gone (BMW operation manual states drivers should lightly depress brake pedal regularly to keep rotors warm/dry while driving in rain, who does that?). Inital bite/pedal pressure/modulation are identical hot or cold.

2 cycles of 12 near ABS activation back to back stops from 50 and 60mph down to 10mph resulted in ZERO fade or required additional pedal pressure to keep near ABS intervention (actually saw smoke from the pad binder mat'l burning off). No OE BMW system I've driven has been able to do that.
