My e90 335i has the rear pad wears out first, my E46 M3 also has the rear pad wears out first, and I just change out the brake pads on my E70, the rear's pads also wear out more than the front. I can't say about autocrossing, but for normal city driving, it seems like the rear pads worn out faster

Your two 3 series likely exercised the traction control. That is what wears out rear pads, not driving.
