I don't think the stock E9X M3 brake system has been pushed that hard on the track by most enhusiats who post on these forums, so I'd say it's too early to say if there is a fade issue or not (with proper pads), and if brake cooling can help. We'll probably know a lot more by the end of the summer. Call up Turner or Bimmerworld and ask. I know Turner has a project car--I have seen it at the track and it had stock brakes at the time--and James Clay has been posting about his PF upgrade on the brake section of the forum.
