Thanks for the update. I hope they work well for you, I have had good experiences with them but a different car. I will be at the track the first weekend of Oct. It's been a long hot summer here and I don't do hot very well, neither do cars. Just not as much fun. Look forward to cooler weather and track days.

Had a very interesting track weekend. The suspension would not change to sport mode even though it showed it. The car was very loose and couldn't figure out what was wrong. By accident I switched the settings and there was no difference. I did this on the street and on the track. I'm pretty quick out there and can keep up with most, but I was the slowest. Sure I was quick down the straights but lost so much time in the turn. I had my hands full. I rarely if never turn on my nannies but had to to keep the car on the track. I took it to the dealer today and was told if no codes they can't fix it. Anyone here have had a similar issue? Will keep you posted.

Are you running the OEM tires? Those make the car slow and loose in extreme Texas heat

I burned through the Michelins on my my first track weekend. I normally get 2 track weekends out of a set of tires. Car is at another dealer right now. Hopefully I will know something by end of week.

I ran Carbotech XP10 fronts and XP8 rears per BimmerWorld for 2 days at Watkins Glen and 4 days at VIR. Stock car and tires. After this, fronts were about 1-2mm left and rears are a little under half remaining. I'm just getting back into tracking so nowhere near a pro pace, but pads were great. I also put over 1k street miles on them and noise wasn't too bad.

Can't wait for PFCs to get back in stock!
