My take from his comment (and I believe also shown by the BMW suspension animation) is the virtual pivot allows a larger brake for a couple reasons:DBJ allowing bigger brakes does not compute. DBJ actually consumes more space in the DBJ area.
1. The motion of the two lower links causes them to move away from where the wheel rim would otherwise travel.
2. The virtual pivot allows the wheels to be pushed further outboard without causing greater scrub. This provides the greater caliper clearance you mentioned.
So, I think his comment was accurate, but just the tip of a chain reaction of changes that leads, in the end, to a better brake and tire package.
Although, you say those same brakes and wheels already fit on the current Mustang, so :headbonk:
