Brake pad life
A new record for me, killed brake pads in only one week

Awesome photo. Those are the steel brakes, ya? After my first track day with G82, guy comes up at the end (last session was like 8pm) and tells me that my front brakes were glowing cherry-red at the end of the straight. I was concerned at first before I researched it more. Very sad I didn't get a photo like yours! I have the carbon ones and the pad wear was very mild though.

Do they offer the package where brakes are covered for 3 years (or whatever higher package)? And did you get it?

At least you have almost identical rear and front wear, get them all done at one “pit stop”
Did you have time to get a Knockhill hot lap to compare with your GTS before the brakes melted? |

Oh boy. At this rate this car is going to cost you a ton to keep driving like that. Has to be some sort of record at least

https://bmwusaservice.com/ultimatecare It says $700 to get UltimateCare+ coverage for brakes, etc. for the 3 years. And then $700 per every additional year after that. This seems like great value since I wore out my rear brakes on my 435i in about 20k miles and the front ones at 28k miles. The second set appears to be lasting me much longer with a good amount of life left in both.
