Just a related note. I got back from two days at Laguna Seca. A friend of mine took his new M Coupe to the track and the stock brakes faded after 4 laps. He tried replacing the pads, bleeding the brakes, etc but was never able to get the car to stop reliability.
That pretty much mirrored my experience with my M3 there. I put on new rotors and pads the night befor going down. Replaced the front pads the next night after they were worn out in one day. Then after the 2nd day had to replace all the pads and the front rotors again.
There was a comp pack M3 that didn't report problems. I never saw him drive so I don't know how hard he was pushing. The guy in the new M Coupe was a far faster driver.
The lotus, P-Car, Subaru, and Evo owners were mostly doing fine with their stock brakes.
