I'm just curious why people would spec or retrofit them on the modestly powered models.

Was afraid of standard brakes lacking power and endurance as it used to be with BMW with their strategy to fit only floating calipers. M sport brakes are provided with fix calipers. I do not regret my choice. These M sport brakes are fantastic. I had just some difficulty to find correct wheel size for my winter tires (was not ok to pay what BMW is asking for a winter tyre set).
My 125i is not modestly powered by the way
