Buy Ferodo DS2500 brake pads then buy rotors according to your budget, forget about drilled rotors if anything go with slotted and if within your budget get two piece rotors in order to save unsprung weight.
My latest setup is below and works well for the handful of HPDE’s I’ll do each year. Fronts: Hawk DTC-60 pads
My oem brake pads, (‘23 A-91MT) are getting low ish after a year of driving her and going to the track. OEM ones seem expensive but they did last a hpde 1/2 driver a year.
PowerStop...They’ve never given me a single issue and they last forever.
I put powerstops on mine a couple months ago and they’ve been great. Regular coated rotors, not drilled or slotted.
I put powerstops on my 2018 touring. Have had zero issues.
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).
Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
Seems a bit sus - but it's not unusual for rear pads to wear faster than front on certain cars. My Ford Flex and CX-50 both wear pads faster out back (it made sense on the Flex because of long wheelbase but was surprised the 50 did it too). That said they should last twice as long.
At 10K on the ticker they said my wife's 21 F57 JCW needed new brake pads all around, would only cost around $4k. I of course said nope, the wear sensors hadn't been tripped or anything. Then when it went back a year later just before the "free maintenance" ran out and car now has 16K on it, they said the brake pads were "worn but fine". Apparently her brake pads miraculously added to themselves over the last 6K.
