Are M Sport brakes worth it?

Well - in the perfect world I'd know the answer as I am a spirited driver, but with todays lowered BMW standards my question is this:

- what exactly is the difference between the regular brakes as available in 228i (or 220i and diesel models in EU), and the nice blue ones (standard in M235i or optional in the others)? Is it only the nice blue color of the calipers, or do we get a truly upgraded braking system with this option?

PS. In my F10, the regular brake calipers are rusting so I guess having them painted blue (or whatever) from the factory would have been nice, but of course the painting alone I can do myself in my future 2-series, and from the M-Sport brakes I would expect more for all these $$$
