Brake discs Centric or OEM BMW
But Centric blanks are absolutely worth a purchase. I've used them on my prior daily SVT Focus and they worked perfectly for many years.
Never bought Centric Calipers, but I’ve bought their “Premium” rotors for three different cars and have been very pleased with them. I have heard great things about their posi-quiet (I think that’s the name) ceramic brake pads, but I always use Akebono since the price difference is usually pretty small on rockauto and akebono is super premium. Those pads are amazing. Great performance, no dust, and no noise.
Just did a brake job for my Accord (painted calipers, new Centric Premium rotors, new Akebono Performance pads, new hardware, fluid, etc.).
Plain Centric rotors have served me well, too.
I went with the Centric Rotors and Power Stop Pads, it has been good so far. Had to replace them at 26k miles as well.
Just put Centric rotors with RS-R pads on the front. Great combo, doing the rears when it warms up with the same combination.
I upgraded my front rotors and pads when they needed to be replaced last year. He recommended solid (non drilled/non slotted) rotors to avoid cracking. My braking distance was *much* shorter after the swap.
I went with Centric/Stoptech blanks when I replaced the worn out rotors on my R32. They've been just fine. It was a swap to Hawk HPS pads that made a HUGE difference.
Some of the best cost effect rotors on the market are Centric Premium rotors, they make most of the OEM rotors in the auto market (even Brembo too) but you won't pay for the brand name on them.
Ever notice how BMW does not use cross drilled rotors. I think Porshe is also open about the fact they only use them for the looks. HMMMM
