When Hot, my brakes have to be pushed almost all the way down to slow down. When Cold they work fine 700

I have a 1989 760 turbo.

I had the front Rotors replaced not too long ago. THe rear ones are due and I think one of them is warped to begin with because when I slow down with them cold, I can tell there is a warped on off feel when applying the brakes.

Now when the brakes are hot on tthe highway, I really have to push down hard to stop the car. When I push on the brake, I feel a resistance point but my foot passes through it and does not slow, to the point where I have to push harder. Kind of a spongy feel that I pass through at the first resistance point..where one would normally expect the brakes to enguage (which they do when the brakes are cold i.e in slow rural driving)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
