Raybestos Element 3 pads and rotors. Inexpensive, maintains factory brake feel and won't rust out.
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 went with Raybestos Element 3 rotors and pads. I live in New England so plenty of salt. Getting into my 2nd winter on them and they still look new.
On the side/personal vehicles? Raybestos coated rotors with OEM pads or Wagner OEX pads every time. Consistent quality, smooth strong braking and low dust.
Zimmermann's Coat Z rotors are excellent. I've used them on many BMWs with no issues.
Zimmermann discs are great, pads are up to your driving style. Just a note, if you choose any of the EBC pads on FCP go with the yellowstuff. I've had redstuff and they did not hold up well on spirited runs.
I put cheap rotors in the front. They suck and made braking unpredictable and dangerous, especially from 150kmh plus. I bought Zimmermanns a week later and the problem completely vanished.
