Brake pads Akebono or Mintex
I use Akebono brake pads. Little expensive but it's the best
My wife's Cabriolet has Akebono pads, front and rear. Pedal is firm, stops fine.
Recommend to get akebonos
Akebono break pads. Thank me later
I run Akebono pads and they barely create any dust compared to oem pads. There is less of an initial bite when braking though
Akebono ceramic pads. 99% of the dust is gone.
I run the Akebono ceramic pads and they helped a lot.
The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.
Akebono makes the pedal feel substantially softer. It still stops well, but the initial bite is much weaker than any OE/OEM pad like Textar.
I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.
