Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.
I've been researching brake pads recently since I was looking for something to replace my awful Akebono pads up front. What I've learned is that Textar and Pagid are OEM pads and will have the "BMW brake feel". Textars are usually on the rears and Pagid on the fronts. Bosch is supposedly not quite as good as the other two. I bought the Pagid pads and man, what an improvement from the Akebono. I can stop again without having to jam on the brakes.
I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like
Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.
With pagid discs and pads i have never had this issue.
I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic
I got pagid and they are decent.
Honestly, avoid brembo. I think I have pagid on my golf GTi currently as they needed doing and I couldn't get anything else. I drive that hard and not really had any real issues unless really pushing it.
stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.
I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.
