Brake pads Bendix or OEM BMW
For me, this car is all about the brakes in terms of gaining lap time. You need to really trail hard into and during the corner and of course it’s a rocket after that.
Pros: gaining lap time
Vehicle:
BMW
From brakes have been solid
Pros: solid performance
Vehicle:
BMW
I changed over to Bendix and it has literally lasted more than twice as long. In fact they’re still on my Corolla after 60,000kms.
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 60000 km
On a 428 both lower control forward arms including labor I believe $320 to $350
Brake pads brake, w e a r sensor and I believe both speed sensors under $400 no rotors were replaced.
Pros: regular mechanic, no inflated prices
Vehicle:
BMW
Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.
Pros: save money, DIY possible
Cons: special tools needed
Vehicle:
BMW
2001 740i never had any issues with the throttle response but the brakes could be better. Too spongy and not as responsive as my 99 540i was.
Cons: spongy, not responsive
Vehicle:
BMW
Did brake rotors and pads myself parts about 400-500$. Brakes never wore out either they just warped.
Pros: DIY possible
Cons: warped easily
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 240000 km
You bought a BMW and now have to pay to keep it running and this is what it costs.
Cons: expensive maintenance
The steering was the worst of all the cars I tried. Engine was fabulous but transmission not very responsive. Handling and suspension usability range were solid but the killer for this car was the really soft, weak brakes.
Pros: fabulous engine
Cons: soft, weak brakes
Vehicle:
BMW
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
