Soon to be attending my first track day in my 135i...help!

Hi All,

I will soon be doing a BMW CCA HPDE track day at Road Atlanta on September 7th, but with me having zero track day experience I'm wondering what few modifications for the car would be best?

Right now I have recently ordered Apex EC-7 Wheels which will allow me to run Bridgestone Potenza S-04's in 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear during the event.

I next plan on grabbing a set of blank rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads since I'll be driving there and back and will need a pad that can still work well on the street to get there, I don't plan on using these pads all the time, just for the track itself. Also plan on bleeding the brakes to Motul RBF600

Is there any other necessary upgrade for a novice driver which will make the day easier? I'm really not trying to break the bank prepping and since I'm definitely not going to be thrashing the car at 100% I think I should be safe with what I'm getting. Any other thoughts, recommendations or ideas? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
