Best BBK for 50% Track 50% Street

Hey Everyone,
Looking to see what everyone is using on the track in 2025. I've recently turned my E92 to more of a track car vs daily driving and I'm slowly updating everything to be better for the track. Right now I've been cycling through a more aggressive track pad and been cycling between DTC70/60 as well as Pagid pads all on Zimmerman rotors, steel lines and motul brake fluid. This solution works just fine but the sound on streeting driving can be unbearable. FCP has been great with rotor and pad replacement (lifetime warranty).

As I've moved to bigger tracks like COTA and Eagles Canyon (Texas), I've found the want for a BBK and have been looking for something between stock/track pads and official AP or Esses Racing BBK to where I'm not breaking the bank.

I've come across the eBay 18Z solution but I've read they're all chinese copy calipers, rotors and pads and I'd be stuck replacing rotors after half a session and will have to buy track pads right away. Then I'm seeing the M4 conversion as an option but hearing there isn't a big difference on track. Biggest positive here is ease in swapping pads.

What are people's suggestions based on my usage and wanting to save a few pennies?
