Like Parkerfe, I ran into the pedal-to-the-floor experience after putting together a set of good laps at Road Atlanta this May. I bled the lines at the track and replaced with (Ford!) OEM fluid. [A BMW service advisor was kind enough to help in the process]

I'll be running Super Blue later this month, but also wanted to upgrade pads to a track-friendly compound: Have any of you had any luck with aftermarket brake pads for the E39 M5? Same goes for stainless lines. If so, what brands and sources have you found?

Thanks for your input.
