Brake pads ENDLESS or OEM BMW
I’ve got a 2019 with 110k km, have only had to change the brake pads outside of normal maintenance and that’s cause I drive it hard. Most reliable vehicle I’ve owned
Pros: most reliable vehicle
Cons: brake pads wear
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 110000 km
I live in Socal and bought mine from a dealer out of state. Get on bimmerpost and search, there are a few like Jeff Steele from Passport BMW or a finance manager at Camarillo. If you are hard on the brakes like I am looking at Ultimate care+ is worth it. I’ve used its twice already to replace pads and rotors
Pros: Ultimate care+ is worth it
I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.
Pros: not obnoxiously loud, suitable for daily
Vehicle:
BMW
Rotors and brake pads set you back about 3k every 3 years. Very easy to replace on your own as well.
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: expensive
Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.
Pros: easy to install
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
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
