Brake system upgrade to Brembo?

Has anybody ever done an upgrade to a Brembo braking system? They're a well respected name in high performance and racing brake systems, and they have a caliper and rotor kit for the E39 M5. I'd be interested in finding out how these performed WRT the stock system as well as what potential problems this could introduce (if any).
