8 months in, advice?

Hi,

I've had my F10 M5 for 8 months now and not impressed with the standard brakes. At first I thought it was the break in period but clearly that's not the case.

I don't find them very effective after (not so) heavy use in short periods of time they really do fade a lot compared to others M cars I have driven in the past.

Does anyone have any recommendations on possible pads to upgrade to?

Pagids

I've used Pagid Oranges on my Porsches on the track. Been happy with them.

Garage List
Get the challenge brake lines and add castrol SRF. Will help fade a great deal. 1 ltr will work I used 1.5 to make sure the system was flushed well.
