Brake pads OEM BMW or JURID
I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.
Pros: pads are fairly recent
Brakes are excellent
Pros: brakes are excellent

The OEM brake pads were painfully inadequate for anything more than street driving. Interestingly enough, the rest of the brake components were designed very good and they have a lot of capacity. A simple pad upgrade and brake fluid flush proved sufficient for more serious track days.
Pros: simple pad upgrade sufficient
Cons: pads painfully inadequate

I vastly prefer my R to the BMW. I think the R drives better, its more tossable, i feel like the steering is better weighted and the brakes are much better.
Pros: brakes are much better
You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.
Pros: good pads
Jurid,like Pagid and ATE,and Lucas/Girling are all OEM suppliers to VW,the Jurid pads are a OEM replacement and make a hell of a lot of dust,but are less likely to "squeek" due to their softer compound.
Pros: less likely to squeek
Cons: make a hell of dust

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

Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
Pros: good on the street
Cons: not good on the track

the steering lacks the consistent weighting and tactile communication that a Porsche offers. For a car this rapid, it's not as talkative as it should be. We've also got reservations about the brakes. Our test car was fitted with competition-grade brake pads to cope with track use, but they still faded badly after a handful of hard laps.
Cons: brakes faded badly

Volkswagen uses Jurid and Pagid Black compound brakepads as OEM on our Passats. The problem is that these pads take a very long time to correctly bed into the brake rotors. If these pads aren't bed correctly, over time they will wear unevenly on the rotor which causes vibration. That vibration is what causes your brakes to squeal!!
Cons: uneven wear, causes vibration
