With Pagid RS racing pads used every event, and switching back to stock pad for the street, never any rotor deposit/pedal pulsing and the rotors still were in spec (although coming up for replacement)!
Same experience here with 100+ track days on my E92 with a completely stock brake system except for pads (PF08 in my case).

On the road, brakes are overkill, as they were w/the E90, so definitely difficult to compare (Awesome vs. More Awesome?). I never use street pads on-track and vice versa.
Also agree
