Brake pads Bendix or OEM BMW
Id search for bendix. They work great and leaves little to no brakedust on my rims. Brembo is shit they leaves fuckton of brakedust and wears quick
Pros: work great, little brakedust
Cons: wears quick
If you find a used BMW that has been well taken care of, especially one with an inline 6 cylinder, you should have very few issues for 5 years of ownership. A few examples in my family… 2003 X5 4.4i just regular maintenance including new brakes for 5 years of ownership and 60k some miles.
Pros: regular maintenance
Cons: new brakes
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 96560 km
My 21’ m340i xdrive was oil changes annually and a new set of tires. Need a new set soon. About $1,000 for pilot sports. Did brakes last week. $600 for the rears. At 70,000 miles.
Pros: oil changes annually
Cons: expensive tires, brakes
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 112654 km
I’d never buy a used car with more than 30-40k miles. If it’s around 30k-40k miles, I’d say you should be mostly problem free but you’ll have some maintenance things to take care of: Brakes and fluid
Pros: mostly problem free
Cons: maintenance to take care
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 64373 km
I’m on my second lightly used BMW. first one had 25k miles and was totaled at 60k, current one was bought around the same time and is now at 40k. Both have been great. A little pricey on maintenance because it’s around the time when things like brakes need to be replaced but completely worth it in my opinion.
Pros: both have been great
Cons: pricey on maintenance
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 64373 km
I have a 2016 435i with several mods (Pureturbos Stage 2 hybrid turbocharger, MHD Pure OTS 93 octane tune, XHP stage 3 transmission tune, CTS catless downpipe, BMS cold air intake, BC racing BR coilovers) at 138000 miles that i purchased september 2024. Within the first year of ownership i had to repair/replace brake-pads&rotors, radiator piping, a/c compressor, spark plug and coils, driver-side rear be damper, abs sensor, driver-side headlight day-time running lights and Engine undershield.
Pros: daily driver
Cons: many repairs needed
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 222089 km
Bendix are surprisingly good, but they are the absolute dust kings.
Pros: surprisingly good
Cons: absolute dust kings
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
Pros: genuine korean brand
Cons: noise, fake bendix
Brembo ceramic brake pad, or akebono. Pangot bendix matigas masyado. Mauna pa maubos rotor mo
Cons: matigas masyado
Bendix is horse shit. Akebono is the best.
Cons: horse shit
