Brake pads Akebono or OEM BMW
I have Akebono's on the rear of my R. VERY low dust from both.
I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.
I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin
I use Brembo rotors and Akebono pads.
Best combo I've found so far
I'm going with Akebono ProACT for less dust.
Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine
Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).
I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.
I replaced mine with Akebono ceramic pads, i paid just under $600 for all four corners, parts and labor (i replaced mine at 9k miles).
It’s almost as if spirited driving causes wear.
