Brake pads DBA or OEM BMW
Great cars. They like to eat brakes in regular intervals. With 70k make sure there is no front end shimmy that is the result in worn control arm bushings/warped brake rotors.
Cons: eats brakes regularly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 70000 km
Brakes are excellent
Pros: brakes are excellent

The OEM brake pads were painfully inadequate for anything more than street driving. Interestingly enough, the rest of the brake components were designed very good and they have a lot of capacity. A simple pad upgrade and brake fluid flush proved sufficient for more serious track days.
Pros: simple pad upgrade sufficient
Cons: pads painfully inadequate
Vehicle:
BMW
I vastly prefer my R to the BMW. I think the R drives better, its more tossable, i feel like the steering is better weighted and the brakes are much better.
Pros: brakes are much better
