Also having a fixed ratio might be worse then having a fluid one.
the factory brakes are already capable of exceeding the mechanical grip of the tires.

The ABS system will make sure that you are doing threshold braking at every wheel, all the time.
Changing the distribution won't accomplish anything because ABS.

If you want better brakes, either commit to a whole sale mechanical upgrade like doing F series brakes, or just put some better pads on it.
Will the F series brakes fit on my x-Drive 328
