I got mine February this year, M5 F90, Pre-LCI (2019), just about 40k miles; Lovely car and I have been daily it. Just like other have said, get one that has been looked after and serviced. For me, it was an approved used and was just serviced before collecting it, it had new brake pads and discs, the OEM pads are awful and replaced them with EBC Yellow stuff brake pads, I would recommend if you ever need to replace pads.
Depending on your engine (taking the 2.0 turbo petrol as an example) EBC do a kit for all pads and disks for £506.57 including VAT.
I have ebc red stuff on my car. They produce dust but stop very well
If you want less brake dust then EBC Red Stuff. I ran them on my 435i and I am running them on my M4. They are fast road pads, not track pads. But they work well and there is pretty much no dust.
I use centric high carbon rotor blanks and EBC reds. They're great, although not quite zero dust theyre less than stock. Very grabby in the cold though, worse than stock for that.
I use EBC Red Stuff. They have excellent modulation. EBC's website says that they are lower dust and last longer than Green Stuff.
As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.
I’ve got EBC blue stuff on my Chrysler 300 (weights like 4400lbs) with EBC slotted rotors. The factory pads were quite easy to overheat to where you can feel a decrease in braking performance, by the time I installed the EBC pads, the factory pads and rotors pulsated. With the EBC blue stuff pads I have yet to feel them fade (no track use). Some downsides, they dust like crazy, my chrome wheels are a dull gray in just a few days. Additionally they sometimes squeak and squeal, they also feel a little worse than factory pads for initial bite when it’s really cold out such as 20f. Lastly they aren’t supposed to last all that long.
don't do the Yellowstuff unless you are on board with a LOT of brake dust.
EBC yellows are a bit too aggressive for most people for street driving. They typically make alot of noise when they’re cold.
