I agree with isJoey and Pruettfan, talking to the dealer about tracking the car is not always the best idea. It might have them talking. Especially, if they see your car in the shop for some issues that could be caused by tracking the car, they might try to avoid paying for some warranty issues if they know you have tracked the car before.
In addition to that, if you are okay with taking the car on track, you have to be somewhat okay with the fact of voiding the warranty. Anything can happen on track and that is a risk we all take. Although our BMWs are designed to hold up on track they are not solely designed for that purpose. There is a lot of forces on the car especially the brakes.
I would recommend what isJoey said. Try your first one or two track days with all original equipment first to get used to the car and its capabilities in stock form. Once you feel comfortable and confident, step up your brakes and tires. Best things about brakes and tires, everything is reversible. If you want new SS brake lines and pads, they are easy to go back to stock if need be for a warranty claim. Same with tires, just swap them on and off.
There are many different manufactures for pads. Even though BMW performance offers more aggressive pads over stock, they can still be somewhat conservative. Search the forums for what others like on their M2. Understand that rotors are not items covered under warranty, as isJoey said, so if you wear them out you will have to invest in new ones either way. Often, aftermarket rotors hold up better then OEM rotors because they are made of better metals and designed to dissipate heat more efficiently then stock rotors.
Enjoy your new M2!
