My experience relates directly to towing my 6k lbs boat with two generation of X5, I towed for 10 years with the E70, and barely 1 with the F15, but the difference in brake feel with 6k lbs of boat and trailer behind you was noticeably better with the 6 pots. This might be different from track use, I don't know, never used them for that application.
I also didn't bring up cost, I said the 4 pots are outdated, they are older, heavier. You opted for used 6 pots, same as myself because they are better.

I’m going based on my experience with 4 piston vs 6 piston kits of several manufacturers I’ve tried on the same car. E46 M3 as well. And I bought the 6 piston vs M Sport kit because I got front calipers, rear calipers, and brand new OEM F85 fr and rr 2 piece rotors for $2k, a good bit less than the cost of the M Sport kit which has solid rotors.
Anyway, like I said, to each their own 👍
