New CSL Owner From Hong Kong

Hi all!

Been lurking on here for a long time back when I had my previous E46 M3 Competition Pack in Toronto, Canada. I sold that one when I moved back to Hong Kong. I have always loved the CSL and I modded my E46 M3 Competition Pack with all sorts of CSL goodies. Recently, I got the chance to jump on a low mileage immaculate sample of the CSL in Hong Kong. The car had just one owner previously and had only done 14,000km (8,750 miles). Here are a few photos!

I am loving every bit of the car. Only one problem that I am running into. The brake pedal is very soft and it doesn't seem like I have any braking until the brake pedal is at the same level as the throttle. I have tried flushing the brake fluid twice. The second time I changed to Castrol CTF fluid. Also tried machining the rotors. None of these helped. Any pointers with what is wrong with my brake system? Everything is still original from factory.

Thanks in advance to any advise!!
