It would make sense that on a tight track you would really be working the LSD much harder. And FWIW, I've been advised by several to not run high-temp brake fluid w/o better pads - the thinking is that it is better to boil fluid (self-correcting), rather than let the pads and calipers heat to the point of meltdown damage (big problems and $$). May be less of an issue w/ these cars, as the 'stock' is still pretty far up the performance ladder (stock fluid is pretty close to the ATE I'm running in terms of boiling points - DK about the brakes, but I'm guessing they designed them to take some punishment).

When talking about stock brakes you remind me about the OEM Brembos on the 135i, guys were melting the dust seals on them, but like you said the new M brakes seem to be stronger just guessing by the OEM pad performance.

I think maybe my previous 3 sessions in sport+ put so much heat in them when stability kicked in that only leaving the car alone for a few hours would of worked.

I am eager to see what happens with better pads..
