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
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.
My car is a daily driver so I used zimmerman blank 1 piece rotors and jurid pads.
I used Zimmerman rotors
I have been driving multiple BMWs for almost 20 years and have always used Zimmermans as replacement rotors. I will keep buying them.
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.
OE is likely ATE or Pagid. Zimmermann is totally 100% fine OEM alternative.
I've got Zimmerman rotors on the front and haven't noticed any difference from stock.
Zimmermann discs + Textar OEM pads
• After ~2 weeks → felt a clicking/grip when braking no squeak
• Recently brought it back again → they cleaned discs/pads applied lube and even replaced the pads
• Now 2 days later → clicking/grip is back + a new squeak at low speed in parking
