Pros: long lasting, high charge capacity

Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).
Pros: long lasting, good feel

Mileage: 200000 km
Buy BMW blades, maybe $10 more but they last forever. They also smell like vanilla
Pros: last forever, smell like vanilla
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
Cons: swap out stock tires

I'd recommend only the original expansion tank. That tank usually outlasts all other aftermarket ones.
Pros: outlasts aftermarket ones

Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.
Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.
Cons: no spare tyre.

BMW OEM pads have done that for decades as far as I can tell. Just get aftermarket pads and you'll get the same performance with less mess.
Pros: same performance, less mess
Cons: lots of dust
It's a $90k car with a single piston rear brake caliper that belongs on a 2012 Ford Focus.
Cons: small rear brake caliper
As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.
Cons: small rear brakes
On my e36 it's a lot. It's a belt driven compressor (maybe that's how it is in all cars, idk) and it squeaks until I shoot it with wd40 being careful not to sit the belt. I've gotten through 5 years like this but holy shit, when I turn on the ac the rpms drop dramatically. Everything starts rattling. It doesn't stall but you can feel the lost power. It's a not insignificant number.
Cons: squeaks, RPMs drop, rattling, lost power
