You must be talking pad composition. The stock hardware is used on many many many race cars as well as track cars. There's a lot of debate as to whether aftermarket stainless lines are even better than OEM.

Maybe if the driver is (over)using the brakes this is the case, but is that really the goal? Again, I don't think the E9X M3's are included in this analysis. E30/36/46's...are quite capable...even the non-M's.
