(I was going to post this in the Track or Brakes sub-forum for the track junkies, but on second thought I think that all M3 owners should know this.)
Do your brakes squeal?
Do they not have enough bite?
Do they fade?
Do they vibrate/crack after the track?
Watch the video to find the answer:

Left: brake disc before bed-in. Right: brake disc after bed-in. Notice the blue-gray color.

StopTech employee on M3forum, that's how great they are
