Fixed rear caliper confirmed?

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
It has been so long that BMW Merc and Audi premium cars with electronic hand brake to have fixed caliper at rear. They are too cheap of course. Cost cut.

I accidentally saw the render of M8 on BMWUSA. Seem like ceramic brake option with 4 pistons fixed caliper at rear?!

For real?!

They are sliding rear calipers on the current M5 Comp so I would assume the M8 has them as well.
