I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
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.
I installed R56 front brakes.
The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.
M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.
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.
BMW OEM pads have done that for decades as far as I can tell. Just get aftermarket pads and you'll get the same performance with less mess.
There good cars with excellent visibility, but single digit MPG in the city and eats brakes and rotors.
The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
Loose steering, very wallowy, crappy brakes, very much a truck but even teenage me though it felt ancient.
