braking system question?

my mom is getting a new M37 and when we were test driving it at the dealership, the salesman was telling us no matter how hard you hit the brakes the car will not nose dive. he said this was part of a special intelligent braking system built into the M so it hardens the front suspension or something... sounds like BS to me because nobody i have asked knows what i am talking about... does anybody know if this is legit?
thanks

Why didnt you just do a hard braking test during the test drive?

*sigh* He has no idea what he's talking about.

He's probably thinking of brake force distribution that can direct more braking power to the front wheels by automatically adjusting the front/rear proportioning valve. However, there is no system that will "harden" the front suspension to prevent the car from nose diving.

Infinitis also have a system that detect how quickly you apply the brakes and if it determines it's a panic stop it'll automatically apply maximum braking power even if you haven't pushed the pedal down all the way.
