M Performance Pads for Track Use

Does anyone know where I can find these? My first track day is in 2 weeks.

Any recommended brake fluid as well? I typically use Motul RBF 600.

Thanks in advance!

I do not believe these pads are available in the states....use PFC08, you won't be disappointed. I would step up to the Motul 660, cheap upgrade but improves the boiling point.

- Brake Fluid: Castrol SRF (not cheap but awesome, about $55-60/liter on Amazon)
- Consider having a "track alignment" performed by a local shop

go have a blast!!!

A track day with stock pads? Hell no!!! ...unless you are in a novice/beginner group and it's your first track day.

Valid point. I will alter the alignment when I fit dedicated track wheels/tires next year. For now the PSS will have to bleed a little.

Try motul 660 as it has a higher wet boiling point so should require less fettling / more stable for dual duty DD /TD

Bimmerworld couldn't find any matching sets front and rear for the M2C.

Has anyone been able to find a full set of track pads for the car yet?

I don't see anything on PFC yet for the bigger brakes (i.e f10-11/f12 and M2C with 2NH)
I only see the carbotech xp8 and xp10

I think this is the front part number 34112284869
