I got mine in November 2024 brand new. M Sport Pro in Carbon Black.
For starters, it is a pretty reliable car. I have done 13,000 kms in one year, plenty of road trips along with some being on steep mountains.
So far, it has given me 0 major issues.
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
hawk HPS 5.0 are great pads for daily and ‘spirited’ driving
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
I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).
slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM
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.
Did brake rotors and pads myself parts about 400-500$. Brakes never wore out either they just warped.
Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.
