My brakes worked really well. They did not fade at all, that I could detect and I did not have any of the 'spongy peddle' feel...
I had flushed my complete system with ATE a couple of weeks before the event when I when I swapped my CDV.
I know BMW will do it but it was right at the two year brake fluid change schedule so I did it myself...

The only thing that I consistently found with the pads is after several laps and the brakes heated up, I would get a loud groan from them when I would 'brush' the brakes. They were silent under heavy braking.
Yes, I properly 'bedded' them in.

Kinda scarey the first time I heard it but after the session, I checked everything out and everything was fine.

I still have a very small concern about my rotors. I want them to last.... The Cool Carbons are supposed to be very easy on rotors, compared to dedicated track pads..

Yesterday was the first time (with all the rain) since I got back from the track on Sunday to really look at the brakes/rotors. Everything looks shipshape..
