Those pads pictured above have a fade point of "2000+". I'm not sure how far past that you have to go to actually get the pads to do what I did. I still need brake ducts. For reference, Project Mu B-Force pads are rated fade resistant up to about 930 degrees.
I buy my cars to drive them. I also maintain them in accordance with how they're driven.
If you haven't encountered such problems on track in your M3, then you're not driving fast enough. This was all done with far less hp than a G37.
I'm still waiting to see what the OP has to say about taking a cloverleaf onramp at 90-100. He never mentioned units, and I'll be disappointed if he says 90-100 kph.

I've completely destroyed several sets of pads and tons of tires on with my M3. I've never once cracked a single rotor though. Not once in my entire life.

I can not crack rotors by swapping the rotors out early, usually.
Cracking 3 in one day was totally unexpected, however. To be fair, that track is the hardest on brakes of the tracks I run at. I still need to install my brake ducts.
Braking zones are from 130 > 40, 85 > 40, 105 > 40, 110 > 40 per lap; basically its a bunch of drag strips connected by (mostly) 90 degree turns.
"medium" heat cycles will do this to your rotor
The heat cycles I was putting the rotors through were just too extreme. It didn't help that it was windy and cold. One of the rotors popped in the pits while I was cooling down after a ride-along.
Where did the OP go?

Also taking a clover leaf at 125 mph is more about lateral grip than how light the car is.
