I went with Zimmerman rotors and akebono ceramic pads. I think I’ll do metallic pads next time. The low brake dust is nice though
Pros: low brake dust

I just received my Zimmerman /Textar rotor pad combo today and installing on Thursday. I drive my car pretty hard but don’t track it anymore. Zimmerman should 1-1 stock as far as I understand
I went with the stock front 335i Grey 4 piston Brembo's (340mm rotors) and 2 piston Brembo's (345mm rotors) in the rear. I also went with stainless steel brake lines. I used the Zimmerman 2 piece rotors, I can't remember the pads, but I remember they weren't cheap. It stops really well for a daily driver.
Pros: stops really well
Vehicle:
BMW
My car is a daily driver so I used zimmerman blank 1 piece rotors and jurid pads.

I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.
Pros: zero problems, good performance
Vehicle:
BMW
I used Zimmerman rotors
Pros: good rotors
Vehicle:
BMW
I have been driving multiple BMWs for almost 20 years and have always used Zimmermans as replacement rotors. I will keep buying them.
Pros: reliable, good quality
The online vendors offer Zimmerman/Akebono kits, I installed one on the front of my E92 and brake dust is nearly eliminated. The Akebono Ceramic pads might have slightly less bite but I'm happy with them.
Pros: reduced brake dust
Cons: slightly less bite
Vehicle:
BMW
Zimmerman rotors (heavier then I would like)
Cons: heavier then I would like
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I put cheap rotors in the front. They suck and made braking unpredictable and dangerous, especially from 150kmh plus. I bought Zimmermanns a week later and the problem completely vanished.
Cons: unpredictable braking, dangerous
Vehicle:
BMW
