Standard 109 servo series brakes will lock up if in good fettle, what more do you want?
Standard components, easily sourced and maintained. Disks are better for hard driving, but I've never struggled with any emergency stop, even with a few tonne on the trailer, with the 11" TLS standard.
If permanent 4x4 with open centre diff, then you might not need to switch the front axle to CV's, but that can be done. No idea what the BMW 4x4 system is like, so, if locked centre diff, you'll need CV joints on the front.
Basically new inner half shafts, standard defender CV joints, turn down new ralko bushes and a bit of metal relieving on the swivel balls.
I agree with the approach, as simple as possible, but modern engine.
