None of these cars is driven frequently on the track, and as a result pad manufacturers have not invested in developing track oriented pads for these vehicles. This will hopefully change in the future, and not a moment too soon, but for now we seem to be limited to BMW OEM (NON track oriented) pads. If anyone knows otherwise I hope to stand corrected.
The parts list for the G80/G82 has now been released to the dealerships, and the parts #'s are:
Front: 34-10-8-093-705
Rear: 34-20-8-093-728
They are available at several aftermarket BMW parts suppliers, and the best prices I have found are Front $179, and Rear $372. Ouch! This is going to get even more expensive, real fast.

I would not worry too much about it, it's only a question of time before someone send is stock pads to an aftermarket manufacturer and they produce some.
I saw a video on YouTube of a guy who could not find pads for is A35 AMG, he sent them to carbotech and they made pads for him so from now they are available for anyone to purchase for the A35.
I have full front and rear AP big brake kit on my M2. I don't plan on going that far on the M3 since the brakes seem a lot more enduring than the small F series blue brakes.
As for wheels, my biggest questioning if how will the dynamics of the car will be affected from going from staggered sizes (18-19 or 19-20) to square 18 or square 19 ?
