If the rotors don't need to be replaced, you can get the OE pads from www.getbmwparts.com for pretty cheap. Rotors make things expensive. Also, Harold@HP Autowerk sells Stoptech street performance pads that work very well on the street and they're about $35 per axle. They have a slightly higher heat capacity than stock, so they can handle light tracking, but they will fade by then end of a 20 min session. It doesn't seem like you'll be doing any of that though.
