M240i Upgraded Discs and Pads

I’m Currently looking at getting new discs and pads as the stock one’s definitely don’t match the power and the way I drive. I use the car as a daily too and from work (which is only a 20 min commute) with some aggressive driving where I really push the car on the weekends(which is where I really feel the lack of stopping power). I have in mind taking it to the track in the future but it may only be a couple of times a year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as to what options are best fit whether that being the best pairing discs and pads or just individual pads or discs that are great options.

Thanks 👍🏻

I installed Performance Friction -08 pads on my car because I tracked it. They never faded on the track. Never.

I’d definitely say the initial bite rather than fade. I do prefer a higher pedal bite rather than a spongier feel as it adds to the responsiveness of the car and with it having a good whack of power it’s definitely needed when I like to take it out and have some fun.
