In May I will attempt my first trackday in my M2
(second ever) at Zolder (Belgium). This will be a few hours with an instructor and a few 30min runs of free driving. I figure the stock brakes and pads will be fine here, since Zolder is not an high speed course and I'm a novice. I won't ruin my rotors, will I?

In summer, Spa francorchamps is on the planning. Maybe this will be the moment to upgrade the pads, maybe even the brake fluid.

Can you guys give me advice on what to do?

Change the pads to M performance pads, or go with pagid R19's or Ferodo's DS range (2500 or better)? Can the M performance pads or other racepads be used on the street or are they too noisy? I have no experience changing pads so it is quite scary to drive up with stock pads and change them at the track for track pads.

Will changing pads will be useless without changing brake fluid? And what brake fluid to go for? Will the stock calipers hold up?
