The stock BMW fluid dry boiling point is 509 F, most recommendations for track fluids is to have fluid rated to 600 degrees or more (Motul 600 is rated 594 degrees, Motul 660 is rated at 617 degrees). So I'm kinda surprised you got by with stock fluid but i depends upon the track and the driver.
I didn’t boil the fluid, it’s not my first track day, and I gradually increased the pace. And stock brakes can handle it.
