I'm not a fan of swapping out pads for track days. Is there something that is middle of the road i.e. streetable for DD but also suitable for 1-2 track days a year?

I've resorted to just leaving the RS29s on for DD use. They squeal a bit, but I also have a X5M and that vehicle is known for squealing brakes so it doesn't bother me. I can get three events out of them, the stocks were done after two days.

I just put on a set of Pagid RS29s front and rear. The stock pads are pretty beat up from just two track days. I used 1/2 of the front OEM pads and about 1/4 of the rear OEM pads. I'm running the RS29s on the street for two weeks before my next event at the Glen. I'm hoping to clean up the rotors that have heavy OEM pad deposits. I'll never run stock pads again on the M2. More to come after my next outing at the Glen.

I had already watched your video, but had not understood that the race pads would actually potentially clean the discs. I thought that - the bed-in process was only to adapt the shape of new pads to the discs - mixing deposits from different types of pads was worse than anything |

After my second trackday my brake shudder is gone weirdly. I tried to keep braking at max 80% with the stock pads and concentrated on having fun. They still have one day left in them. Will switch to RS29's when I go to Spa and will try how they behave on the street.

Which exhaust do you have ? I don't recognise the noise (probably also distorted by the camera) |

That's what I thought until the OEM pads left excess deposits on my rotors. Too much stopping poster overwhelms the heat limits of the OEM pads. Do yourself a favor and use a proper track pad on the M2.
