Problem with brakes?

Ok guys hoping you can help me out. I have a 2008 335xi, auto with comfort access. Whenever I used to start my car, I would depress the brake pedal 1-2 inches with minimal effort to start the car. After doing a pretty intensive track weekend, I noticed that when going through my starting the car ritual, the brake pedal no longer has the 1-2 inches of slack. I actually need to push on the pedal with 40+ pounds of force so the car thinks the brake pedal is depressed for the car to start. Once the car is running, there is no observable problem with the brakes.

What do you think happened? Did my track weekend screw up the brakes? My car has 6,500 miles and the onboard computer says I need new front brakes in 7,000 miles and new rears in 10,000.

Any insight?
