Brake pads OEM BMW or Duralast
I just put Duralast Elite Ceramic pads and Duralast Gold rotors on my 2017 5.0 and have been very pleased with them. While not physically measured I’m of the opinion stopping distance has been reduced. Everything you need is in the box and rotors are coated to resist corrosion and have no film to remove before installation.
Pros: reduced stopping distance, easy installation
Did all brakes and rotors with top duralast gold and heavy duty ceramic pads- maybe 600
Pros: heavy duty ceramic pads
Vehicle:
Ford
Duralast Friction Ceramic Brake Pads D1766 front 49.99 back 39.99 old pad and a harbor frieght C clamp 8.99 98.27 guesstimation on sales tax 104.97 total/
Pros: low cost
Part number: D1766
The pads on my 2019 Alltrack are wearing nicely as there is plenty of life left at 52,500 miles.
Pros: plenty of life left

Volkswagen

I can't say much towards your brakes since I have a G30. However, I was quoted $1850 for my front M Sport brakes. I ended up doing it myself for $900 in parts only. It's not very complicated.
Pros: easy to do yourself
Cons: expensive quote
Vehicle:
BMW
I got quoted well over a grand to do all 4 brake pads at the dealer. I went to a local garage and they did it for half
Pros: cheaper at local garage
Cons: expensive at dealer
Just for front brakes/rotors at my dealership they wanted $1,100. I found a shop that is highly rated and they got it done, plus an oil change, for $550. So half the dealership and an oil change to boot. I\u2019ll never go to the dealership again unless it\u2019s an electronics issue.
Pros: cheaper at local shop
Cons: expensive at dealership
I'd avoid the cheaper duralast stuff but the gold is usually OK.
Pros: Gold is usually OK
Cons: cheaper Duralast is bad
Hey there, maybe you can help me out with the embarrassingly loud brakes on my g80 m3 (does not have the $8k carbon brakes package).
I bought it new and since day 1, the brakes have squealed incredibly bad. Not bad like "this is performance brakes so you have to tolerate it because you bought a sports car," which is what BMW has told me 50 times now. But awful, ear piercing, screeching every single time I brake. I took the shop foreman on a ride who agreed it was the worst he's ever heard.
Cons: awful, ear piercing, screeching
Vehicle:
BMW
The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
Cons: awful brake dust
