Question Brakes - issue or normal

Anyone else find that the brakes are a bit too sensitive (tend to grab) when applied in a normal stopping situation?

Thanks for your input.

They are sensitive AND powerful.

It takes a little getting used to, but you'll appreciate it when someone in front of you (or coming from your flank) does something stupid. Even in a "panic" (I don't panic) stop, they only bite a little more than usual.

My favorite is when they tear through the parking lot. WTF people?!

On the plus side, the vehicle doesn't dive as much as I might expect (but it does some).

Seems perfectly normal to me.

I guess it depends how you brake. When my wife drives, yes, when I drive no. I guess I just have a softer foot and have figured out how to brake differently. I do think BMW made some changes to the LCI change because the wife brakes much differently inner new 2011 than her 07. Anybody else notice the difference
