Brake fluid and track pads most likely would have helped some, yes. But those still don't cover for the fact that while the competition is using 4 and 6 pot brakes, typically from a respected brake manufacturer, the M3 comes with inferior (for track use) 1 piston floating caliper brakes. Also, a simple search of the tests reveals this to be a common complaint from many if not most of the track reviews...M3 brakes just not up to snuff.
However, I will say this. BMW has made those same type of brakes work fairly well in the past for all but the most hardcore track junkies and racers, I'm wondering if there is a heat soak issue with the e92 M3? And if so, there may be an easy fix such as stainless brake lines, additional brake cooling, etc...
