BMW brake fluid is also pretty good fluid. It has a higher wet and dry boiling point than most stuff on the shelf. Moving to a better fluid like rbf600 won't hurt anything though so long as you change it at least 1x per year.

Thanks for the input. Will look into the durago rotors. Sound like exactly what I'm looking for. Durago rotors are 2lbs lighter than which rotors exactly?
As for pads, EBC Red may be a good option and already on my short list. My wife hates the big initial bite of the OE BMW pads, so sacrificing a little top bite in exchange for less dust on the street will be fine. Not going to put RBF in there. I'm not interested in doing brake fluid changes unless I'm going to go have fun. No damn carrot and all stick.
Hoping to visit the track for a HPDE or two next spring, so ill worry about track pads then.
