My initial thought was pad deposits and it certainly is a contributing factor. Just make sure you do not exceed thermal limits.
I am yet to test new pads but will for this year.

a little and you'll find plenty of threads on the topic.
Your rotors are very unlikely warped. Rotors as sturdy as the ones found on the F8X just don't warped that easily. You most probably only have uneven pad deposit on your rotors, despite what your BMW service guy is telling you. Most BMW service personnel are clueless regarding pad deposit and uneven pad deposits present the exact same diagnostic symptoms as warped rotors. I am in very good terms with my service manager at my dealer, and he had never heard about uneven pad deposit until I told him about it. A few weeks of regular street driving will eventually wear off the uneven deposit. This can be accelerated by using a more abrasive track pad on the street.
Don't just take our word for it, read this excellent article by Stoptech:
