I really like Repco/PBR/Axxis Deluxe for the street.  Very low dust,
effective for street driving (good grip when cold), pretty durable in normal
street use.  I haven't worn out a set yet.  You might also try the
Porterfield R4S, but I have never used them.

But they're poorly suited for the track because they're not very durable at
high temperatures.  On the track, try Performance Friction 90, Porterfield
R4, or maybe Repco/PBR/Axxis Metalmaster.

You can get the PF90 and R4 at http://www.porterfield-brakes.com or your
E34.  They only stock the R4 and R4S for your E38.
