I've seen conflicting info here so was hoping to get some clarity. Does the 330i xDrive with M-Sport package include the M-Sport blue brakes?

Mine doesn't have them but I think I've seen others with it. The brakes aren't listed as a separate option, so I'm not sure how it's possible to get them.

I know not to trust the configurator, but it was recently updated to show the blue brake calipers on the xDrive model and wasn't like that before.

Mine doesn't have the m sport brakes :/

For Canadians: it can be ordered a la carte: Code: 2NH
For US: I believe it comes included when you order the ZTR Track Handling Package.

UK: It is included and cannot be removed

This. For some bizarre reason, ZTR does not appear in the US configurator for the 330iX. To get what the OP is looking for, you need to use the "back door" in the Wheels spec tab. Just choose the 19" 791M black wheels with high-perf non-rft, and the Summary tab gets magically populated by OP's heart's desire.

It depends, In Belgium they are included when the M-package is selected for the 330i, for other engine configurations it’s an option of 655€, even when the M-package is selected.

In Canada as stated not included so my in stock car didn't have them.

Are the M sport brakes much better than the stock?

Depends on your driving application.

Stylewise, the M-Sport Brakes has blue caliper housing and larger with 4 pistons in front, floating caliper in rear.
Front Brakes pads have larger surface area to contact the disc brake.

I have the 330i M pack and m sport brake is an option for us Canadiens. Originally, I would have added it but the salesperson says unless I plan to drive aggressively on a daily basis, the regular brakes should be sufficient, hence I deleted it from my order. However, after driving it for couple wks now, I find regular brakes may be adequate, but definitely not sufficient enough for the sport mode driving.

Since you mention the technical details of the m sport brake, I think I read from a YouTube review saying the stock brakes are only single piston and if that's true, does that mean msport brakes could possibly be twice as efficient as the stock one? Also, any idea if the wear off on the brake discs be much quicker with m sport brake compared to stick one?

It's fun to notice how default configs differ in various regions depending, I guess, on the market demand and practice. In Europe, for instance, M-Sport blue brakes come default with the M-Sport package. However, from what I have learnt getting through the forum, in US some assistance features (like lane departure) come with M-Sport while we don't get that combination in Europe.
