When I did my HPDE in my M235i ,my instructor said that the MPSS on my car were just ok for the track. I’ve always thought that was funny since all the reviewers and people on forums rav about them.
Funny thing about the 235i and the M2 - I ran stock pads and rotors on my 235i for over 30 track day events. Yes - I used used plenty of pads during my 40 months of ownership. But- I never ever melted those OEM pads on the 235i. And yes, I did track the car on some very high speed, brake heavy tracks.

Now when I first tracked my '17 M2, I got horrible rotor deposits that took way too long to get cleared up. Now on my M2 I ALWAYS swap in track pads every single time for track events. I never ever want to go back to what feels like warped rotors.
