Brake not as good as BMW

OK. I replaced the all brake pads from 4 corners, front rotors and bleed the system with dot 4 fluid. The brake is still soft as compare to my 92
BMW 525 or Jaguar XJS. It brakes fine but it just a bit soft. Is this just how w124 brake system designed?

Next, I might replace the 17 years old brake lines.

If you would like some extra firmness in your brakes, stainless braided lines are the way to go. They don't expand like the factory rubber lines do and they look cool too. ;) Just an extra step forward to make your brakes that much better.

100$ usually gets a set to cover all 4 corners.
