Interesting. The guy that does my brakes tracks his e92 M3. He knows the difference thankfully. He even said, "lets see if it's pad deposits or whether its warped" (each time). I'm an outlier because I need more brake pressure to slow down as I attain higher speeds but need to slow down more than most due to the S/C with stock suspension.
