Nothing better than taking your car to the track!!

Now imagine how capable the car would be with good tires, a tighter suspension and the brake upgrade you mention!!! It would be even more fun.

I'm surprised you didn't get brake fade on OEM pads/fluid. Maybe you weren't pushing the car hard enough? I was able to get very bad fade on my 2011 E92 M3 on OEM pads/fluid and those brakes were otherwise very good (I would bet much better than the F30 328). A fluid swap and more track oriented pads fixed the issue and were well worth the upgrade.
