I used ATE ceramic pads on my mk7 pp and so far they are great. Barely any dust, no noticeable wear on the rotors after 3k miles, and no extra pedal pressure required.
I used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far
i use wagner at my shop. never had an issue in the 6 years i've been using them.
Second upgrade to Wagner Thermo quiet brake pads and rotors.
I just changed my rear breaks and rotors on my 2018 limited and will be doing the fronts next week, I have always used Wagner Breaks and rotors. I have been using them for 20 years and 5 of those vehicles have been jeeps with zero complaints.
Wagner OEX. It's built on a galvanized steel backing plate so it doesn't rust like the painted ones. It also uses a mechanical attachment system to hold the friction material instead of glue, so it won't crack/detach like the cheap pads.
stick with ATE or akebono. both good for their price. have ran both on my e39 and they work great with their respective rotors
FWIW I wound up with those Brembo front and Zimmerman coated rears with ATE ceramic pads and I’m very happy with it. To me the stock setup is grabby at low speeds and these are much smoother. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any stopping power. Huge difference in brake dust.
I literally just did exactly this.. Had the BRAKE warning light on the dash and replace rear brakes on Idrive message on my 2019 X3 M40i at 32k miles.. rear rotors looked fine to me.. they were smooth and not grooved.. so i bought OEM ATE PADS and a BOWA rear brake sensor.. $128 shipped from Pelican parts and i was charged 1 hour of labor ($135) at my local Indy shop.. as others have mentioned youtube is your friend.. just a rear pads replacement is a pretty easy job w basic tools.. I should have done it myself but I decided the $135 cost was not worth my time and effort.
I use Ate pads on mine, they feel great and have lasted fairly well but dust like CRAZY.
