Brake discs DBA or OEM BMW
I'm running the DBA Street Series T2 slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines on my STI Brembo's. Works great for me on track, touge and street. They do squeal during the break-in period fyi.
Pros: Works great on track
Cons: squeal during break-in
I went with DBA T3 4000 rotors and DFC5000 advanced pads.
I just ordered pads, rotors and sensors for my 16 M235i. Cost out the door was $1000 for BMW OEM parts. Rotors are each unless it's bought in a kit. ($177 each) Rotors are likely smaller on the rear wheels.
Pros: OEM quality, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.
Pros: improved braking

BMW X5

I've recently installed the DBA Street Series - T2 Slotted. Very happy with them so far, early days, but DBA does have a good rep. Priced well too.

I have DBA t2 Rotors with their street ceramic pads. Great for street and does well in curvy canyons. I like them a lot, even coming from Stoptech slotted with sport pads. way less brake dust with ceramic pads.
Pros: great for street, less brake dust
