If you were going to do this, then you should have just bought a larger BBK with floating rotors and race pads.

The stock braking system was designed to perform under street-duty use, and occasional track days. (keeping in mind that they are not a substitute for a true BBK)

Complaining about the stock brakes (with small rotors and standard duty calipers) is not fair.

Anyone could replicate what you did.

Just drive the car as hard as you possible can (lap after lap)...until it falls apart due to the severe stress and intense heat.

I don't really understand why you are trying to make BMW the bad guy here.
