I have found the DS2500s to be good for mixed road and moderate track day use. For hard track day use and minimal road use the DS1.11 are a better choice. The DS2500s don't brake as well as the stock BMW pads until they are warm in my experience, but are then significantly better, assuming they have been bedded in properly.

Yes they were bedded in properly. I even had my girlfriend drive gently for a few hundred miles and then tried to rebed them a couple times. They were pretty awful compared to the stock pads that came in the car.
