I did over 100 track days with my E92 with a completely stock brake system save for PF08 pads. I never had an issue.

10 stops is not likely to fade the stock brakes on the E9X M3...
However, with stock pads, they will eventually fade at the track. As would pretty much any car on street pads.

Yep it basically were the pads(off course) but it keep in mind the big fat pig combined with its ability to gain speed when revved to the max plus me behind the wheel was a match made in h3ll.
I'm not doing sightseeing on a trackday. Anyway, I didn't find it a real trackcar. Neither was the 1M really but better suited and more nimble and agile and just as fast or faster, less(no) understeer, nicer(to me!) balance =more fun.(for me).So please no E9xM3 vs 1M comparisons Don't get me wrong E9x M3 was a nice car in many ways, but my expectations were probably too high, sorry.

C&D:"Also, it has shorter second, third, and fourth gear ratios" .. and first is shorter too.
C&D:"The automatic has a 47-percent wider overall ratio spread attributable to its 0.67:1 seventh gear" .. the seventh is about 25% longer than sixth (both manual and dct). Furthermore what often is not considered (advantage dct): When you upshift with heavy throttle in daily driving with low 2500 or 3000 rmp, dct keeps turbo boost whereas as 6MT driver has to build up turbo boost in the higher gear again (kind of turbo lag in low revs). 6MT is most fun with nat. asp. motors. |

http://insideevs.com/the-rolling-sta...rmance-metric/ I wouldn't say either measure is better, because they both tell you something different. A 5-60 mph time won't tell you how well a car launches, and a 0-60 mph time won't tell you how responsive a car's engine is at low RPM

For example YouTube videos showing a Model S smoking a Hellcat, but only in 1/8mi strips. And they don't want to hear how their car overheats on a road course, like Nurburgring cause that takes away from "Ludicrous mode" making their car "faster". The 0-60 metric definitely sells. |

One of my track buddies that blew his 350Z engine twice in a row bought it. He knew exactly what he was buying and has been reliably using it as his daily driver and track car for the last 2 years . Those ///M cars are pretty stout .

Overall, the 5-60 is more indicative of roll-on (e.g. real-world) acceleration. To me, it's much more useful, as I'm not concerned with how well the car launches, but rather, how fast it is once moving. Much like comparing 1/4 mile ET v.s trap speed. The ET is very, very influenced by the launch (skewed by AWD, etc.), while the trap speed is the best indicator of overall power/weight or vehicle acceleration in the real world.
