It appears some dealers aren't aware of this change for '17....but mine was.
?unless you purchased the "maintenance program upgrade option?"
If not, then I am envious

That is correct. I don't get it either...but replacing the fronts and rears at 19k (street only) miles seems weird. I was told it's because there's 3mm less pad material vs the bmw pads. I'm hoping the g-locks last longer than the oem, I'm pretty sure they'll throw less dust.

If anyone would care to watch, I went to my first real track day this past Sunday and surprised a few people. I'm still on a stock JCW brake setup which performed wonderfully with no fade whatsoever.
I still think I want to get upgraded pads next time I change them, just to see what their potential is. I found a company on ECS Tuning called ISweep who makes multiple levels of performance compound. I'm going to try the IS2000 when I upgrade. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-isweep-p...2000-r1312-15/
Anyway, have a look at the video of my first stint if you'd like to. https://youtu.be/DXbcbWEyYSE

CORK SCREW TIME! Wow, I am so jealous. What a great track.
On another note, My front brake pad warning came on on Tuesday, and I wasn't even mad. I immediately hopped on ECS and ordered a set of performance pads from iSweep and will be putting them on soon. Looks like I'm going to go through front pads in this car on a consistent 10k mile basis.

It's my absolute favorite track. The corkscrew is so fun.

I did that upgrade about the same time as the springs, so it's hard to say which part changed which dynamic. The big braces are definitely a lot more sturdy than the stock ones, though, so it seemed like a good upgrade.
