I think even the BMW engineers will agree their 1-piston stock setup will not last through the abuse the OP put the them through.

Not quite sure how many times we have to beat this to death. Piston count is by far from the most important thing to fix the lacking brakes. The things that would have helped here a lot are:
1. Less abuse by a talented pro.
2. Brake duct cooling system with air directed right at the rotor.
3. A larger heavier rotor with improved hat design to take advantage of the duct cooling (i.e. most BBK rotors).
4. Stainless steel brake lines.
5. The highest temp race pads available RS-15 or Turner race pads or the like.
