Sup fellas!
With help from my awesome forum buddy John, we were able to swap out the rotors and pads this past weekend. I went with just the cross-drilled ones because it resembles the M5 brake rotors better than the cross-drilled with slots. The fronts were replaced with Hawk HPS pads and they bite very nicely after being bedded.

I am really glad that I sprung for the extra hundee to get the premium ones. They make a huge difference in appearance. Thanks.

It might just be my imagination but I think I am still feeling bit of a spongy-ness in the brake pedal. I might take it back to the dealer and have them re-bleed it.

It is possible some air got into the lines when it overflowed, have them check that. If so bleeding would definitely be in order.
