a number of them at track days down here in texas, but its mostly severe pad wear and brake fade.
everyone that I know who tracks m3's knows that if you carry even moderate pace (like myself, average driver) you need to run upgraded fluid and brake pads on the m3 at the track. its just a weakness of the m3, and was the same thing on the e46
hopefully this will be resolved with the new 4/2 piston brakes coming standard on the new gen m3....(crossing fingers)
for street driving I think both e9x and e46 m3 brakes are perfectly fine and work great
