I agree with you on brakes on the ring, but my point about the taxis using m performance sport pads was that it was all that BMW needed to do to make sure that their taxis can cope with harder driving (harder than on public roads) and a fully loaded car, therefore, on Chris' 1M which spends most of its time on the road, a pad change is all that's required, without the need for anything else like SS lines, fluid etc.
