There is some competing information regarding pad swaps with the BM4 in this thread:

You need to take the caliper off, that bad boy is heavy, and the massive "wing" at the top of the caliper makes it harder to just hang it off a metal hook or something like that.

So does the whole caliper need to come off to swap pads or not? Maybe @
CSG_Mike can clarify? If pad swaps are no more difficult using the BM4 than the standard caliper, the extra $100 for the BM4 is really compelling but as someone who swaps pads at every track day, having to fiddle so much would get old fast.
