Brake discs DBA or OEM BMW
Only installed dba dimpled and slotted rotors with bendix suv pads. Better bite than standard. Only had it for 1000km while towing my 4.5m tinny. Cant help with longevity
Pros: better bite than standard
Mileage: 1000 km
Dba t2 and hd pads. So much better than the hilux oems and at 100k km on the rotors now and changed pads once
Pros: much better than OEM
Mileage: 100000 km
This is the combination that worked for me - Akebono 370z calipers - 2 piece floating DBA rotors w/ aluminum hats - Winmax W6 pads - 3" ducts from front bumper to backside of the hubs. An advantage to the aluminum hats is it really reduced heat transfer into the hubs, improving the life of the bearings. The floating design helps prevent warping and cracking from the stress of all the thermal cycling.
Pros: reduced heat transfer, prevents warping

Bought DBA T3 4000 rotors, DFC 5000 pads, a nice jack from harbor freight and some jackstands all for about 900 and did it all myself in about an hour and a half. Changing these pads and rotors are honestly a breeze.
Pros: easy to change
Dba rotors and nothing else
Pros: nothing else

They look like Dba rotors
I just fitted DBA rotors (slotted) with Akebono ceramic pads to my F22. DBA does a few different styles for different applications. If you're mainly streeting your car, you generally don't need drilled. Dust and noise is almost non existent with these pads, with a little more bite than OEM.
Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite
I run dba rotors and endless pads on my Z, and for fast street use they’re great but on track they’re okay. Pedal gets soft halfway through the day and the rotors have developed some small microcracks after 5 days of use and street miles.
Pros: great for street use
Cons: pedal gets soft, microcracks

Nissan
New brakes! DBA 4000 series rotors and EBC Yellowstuff pads. Couldn't take the chattering/warped factory rotors anymore.
Cons: chattering, warped
the 325 rotors are tiny and have pitiful heat capacity
Cons: tiny, pitiful heat capacity
