For future reference, 93 Octane is available. Just need to drive towards Plymouth instead of going to BP in Elkhart Lake. It's worth the extra 3 minute drive. Many people don't know about this location though.

That said, it's brutal on brakes. I didn't have any overheat problems on my E36 rotors at Blackhawk or Autobahn, and I couldn't make it through 3 laps at RA. Took several compound switches before I got a setup to work. So the stock pads working there is pretty damn impressive.

I agree it can be brutal on brakes, BMW did a good job with the fronts. The rear not so much I wish it was a bigger caliper and a bigger pad see below my rears where done after the weekend

Rear BBKs are going to be popular for the G80.

I have high hopes aftermarket pads will cure some of this situation, I would eat up OEM pads in a weekend or two and ferodo ds2500 last me 3-4 times longer.

Nice driving and looks like the car did just fine! On my F80 I just had brake pads, fluid and NT01 tires and I felt like it was all it really needed to be dependable and fun.

I've been looking for an organization to run with at Road America... I usually have done Chin and HOD for the most part but not familiar with MVP, CGI, KMR... group you were with seems like about what I'm interested in.

Road America is such a sweet track. Here's some video from my track day there in 2019. Can't wait to take my future G82 there summer 2022.

Brake pads are going to be a very expensive proposition for people who track these cars for many months into the future, as no aftermarket company is currently manufacturing track oriented pads. I have been searching everywhere I can think of with no luck, and very little info. I have contacted every manufacturer that I am aware of in the industry over the past three weeks, and received a reply from only one, EBC. They told me that though they plan to make pads for these cars, their current expected introduction time frame is sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2022. Not what I was hoping to hear, and I would wager that the other manufacturers will probably have similar time frames, though I dearly hope to be proven wrong on this.

My local indy shop that I have used for years now has sent out a request to a smaller manufacturer in the hopes that they will agree to make these pads. In order to do this though he will have to provide them with my current BMW OEM's once I have worn them out. Shouldn't take too long. I will keep all of my fingers and toes crossed.

Until track pads show up we are going to be dependent upon BMW OEM non track oriented pads which will probably be short lived, are very expensive at best, and usurious at worst. The best price I have found so far is $537 going up to $692 for front and rear. Ouch!

For those interested the BMW Part #'s are:

Front: 34-10-8-093-705 best price $168
Rear: 34-20-8-093-728 best price $369

Good luck to us all.

The only cars I see frequently leaving before a 20 minute or 30 minute session are the Mustangs, Camaro's, other exotics. Seems like guys who "built" up, heavily modded a car, also typically can't finish a full session.

The rear pads have been used on other makes, and models for a number of years, so track oriented pads are available from several other manufacturers as well, EBC and Brembo among them. The manufacturer of the rear calipers by the way is TRW. The front 6 piston calipers are a new proprietary part manufactured for BMW by Brembo, however Brembo does not manufacture the pads. The pads are sourced by BMW from another company (?) which is probably the only source in existence right now.

I am not comfortable with running pads from two different manufacturers on a car at the same time, especially when one is a race pad, and the other is a street pad. I might make an exception if the front pads were the race pads, and the rears were the street pads, but that can't happen in this case. So as much as it hurts, I will be placing an order with "BMW Parts Wholesale" for both the front and rear BMW OEM pads. My hope is that when I blow through the current ones in mid June I will have a second set ready to go. Gotta keep up the momentum ya know.

use less brake pedal - less wear on pads and shoes. Problem solved. 🤷🏻
