Brake pads Bendix or OEM BMW
On my previous EV, a BMW i3, the brake pads were the same as the Mini Cooper (except for the 2014, which used a shaved-down pad for some reason).

I’ve been using Bendix metal king for my car, it outperforms stock pads from Toyota by a lot. For context, I’m from Sabah; under normal driving conditions and without another driver in front basically keeping their foot on the brake pedal. Our steepest mountainous road is Kimanis, gradients ranging from 10% to 25%; it handled the descend perfectly without fading as compared to stock pads. Traversing to-and-fro Kundasang was also a breeze, brakes would typically fade half-way down the mountain with minor traffic ahead. I’m looking to switch to Bendix Ultimate come time to change my brake pads. Though I have to agree with the brake dust, but if you wash your car once a week then it shouldn’t be that awful.
Pros: outperforms stock, good fade resistance
Cons: excessive brake dust
I just bought pads, rotors and sensors. Went with BMW branded, lifetime replacement warranty makes it a no brainier.
Pros: lifetime warranty

Used them twice. Both times had excellent speedy service for a good price. Both times were brakes on my 3 series (front discs and pads, then rears). Saved a significant chunk of cash.
Pros: excellent speedy service, good price

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).
Pros: long lasting, good feel

My F82 never has engine cooling issues. The DCT needs a 1qt overfill or a better pan once you pick up pace on sticky tires. Unless you're boosting to the moon, you won't have engine cooling issues though. Brakes are the weakest bit. The stockers feel good, but you really need to cool them.
Pros: stockers feel good
Cons: brakes are weakest bit

I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.
Cons: noisy, scratches rotors
Welcome - get used to it, unfortunately!
Cons: lots of brake dust
It’s almost as if spirited driving causes wear.
Cons: brake wear
