I think start with the cheaper things 1st so DOT5 fluid and SS lines upgrade makes sense . Not sure what part numbers brake pads you have but I'm impressed with std fit pads on my euro RHD spec M135i. Done some track days and yet its still my DD - pads are good in both modes. Are you concerned about feel once upto temperature or are you concerned about fade ? If fade is the issue, have you opened the brake ducts by removing blanking plates in the front wheel wells to allow air flow in to cool the front brakes ?? BP
removing which plates? any pic?
@pikcachu check the image, is a small plate within each front fender, once you remove them, your brakes will get fresh cool air from the center of the M bumper
