Brake pads Centric or OEM BMW
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 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
It has new brakes, oil pan gasket, VCG, new radiator, hoses, fan, fan clutch, water pump and a few other things I’m forgetting.
Pros: new parts installed
Vehicle:
BMW
I always bought BMW genuine brake pads and rotors, and never had an issue. They work great.
Pros: work great, no issues
Lol definitely avoid duralast. My favorite combo is Centric OE coated rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads.
Pros: good combo, quiet pads
Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads + Centric Premium Rotors
• Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
• Cons: Not a performance upgrade, but solid for daily driving
Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
Cons: Not a performance upgrade
OEM BMW Performance. Can’t recommend the brake pads though, dusty as hell. I had Hawk HPS5.0 pads before, those performed better than the OE pads with the added bonus of being very low dust.
Pros: low dust, better performance
Cons: dusty
Vehicle:
BMW
As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.
Cons: small rear brakes
Welcome - get used to it, unfortunately!
Cons: lots of brake dust
