Brake pads OEM BMW or DIXCEL
My local dealer has the “value service” pricing on BMW USA’s website, front rotors/pads/sensors on an 18 330 x drive for $419.95 front and $435.95 rear.
Pros: affordable pricing
Vehicle:
BMW
I installed R56 front brakes.
Pros: improved braking

Dixcel ES pads are a “fast street” pad with low noise and dust that out perform oem pads and can be used for light track application also with effective heat range of 0-600 degrees Celsius. I think they’re the best “bang for buck” pad you can get.
Pros: low noise, low dust, good performance
M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.
Cons: tail-happy under braking
Vehicle:
BMW
Seems like there would be room in the market for a slightly detuned S55 base model without the fancy seats, brakes and wheels for about $5-8k less like the M3/M4: M3/M4 Competition.
Vehicle:
BMW M2
I really love driving it though, particularly the brakes and the handling.
Pros: glorious sound, great handling
Vehicle:

Have yet to find a better street pad than BMW's OE compound. Ceramics dust less but feel terrible.
Pros: better than ceramics
Cons: Ceramics feel terrible

The way the brakes begin to grumble during heavy braking is less impressive, but they work well enough.
Pros: work well enough
Cons: grumble during braking
Vehicle:

The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
Cons: awful brake dust
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
Mileage: 3000 km
And jesus christ. $600 for rear pads and rotors? the the parts are like $250 and labor shouldn't be over $200...
Cons: expensive rear pads and rotors
