Stock Brakes Severe Let Down...

I was stoked for these brakes after all the raving reviews and all of these press track days that seemed, or were advertised, to have gone off without a hitch.

However, fast forward to the real world, and after ONE track day, all four rotors are completely warped and useless...and pads are destroyed.

Now, I kind of expected the pads to be gone, let's be real. BUT, rotors to be destroyed after 6 20 minute sessions?? On an $80k ///M car? Really?

My 135is with BMW Perf front rotors and little else never had one rotor issue after 5-6 track days of hard driving.

I understand track driving is going to net increased wear on your car, but I would have expected a LOT more out of these stock components. Seems BMW engineered these steel brakes to be exponentially inferior to the massively expensive CCB's...
