No PFC pads are available at the moment for the M3 or M4. I have confirmed with PFC directly and there is no ETA either.

Did they provide any insight as to where they are in terms of development or release date? I've written them several times on their webpage and email as well. Not a single acknowledgement or response.

PFC is now the supplier for all of Porsche OEM ( PFC BBK's come on all GT3's) , BMW Motorsport , and many race teams in multiple series . It took 2 months for me to get my replacement rotors for my PFC Z4M BBK bc they are having a hard time keeping up with their greatly increased demand . I'm afraid the M4 is probably wayyy down on their list, but I'm sure they will come out with pads for the OEM system eventually . FYI they have a new 12 compound that is the successor to the 08 that was developed for the Porsche GT3 cup cars . Very similar characteristics to the 08 as far as bite and release but with less rotor wear ! I'm trying them out on my Z4M race car . PFC is a great company but their " consumer " side is being sacrificed a bit to make up capacity for their new OEM responsibilities . Through my communication with them they hope to be caught up over the next several months . Great stuff though and def worth it.
