Did you run with MDM and/or Power On?
Were you on stock pads? If so, any fade? That is my only concern for my first track. Since I still have a warranty, I figure if I eat the pads/rotors, BMW can replace them.

Ran with traction control on (did not engage euro MDM) and it worked for me as a beginner. It didn't hinder me from learning the line which was my goal.
I ran power on as a preference. Not enough seat time to determine which I like better.
100% stock including pads. No fade, but again I need to learn to trust the brakes and brake later and harder. That said, Willow Springs did not seem like it was that hard on the brakes. Only a few really hard braking zones.
Actually, part of my strategy is to track this car a few times before my factory warranty expires. Not just for free pads, but to get any kinks out of the system early.
