Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Honda
2000 Honda Oddyssey
High mileage but runs good, small dent on driver's quarter panel. Rebuilt trans, shifts good, engine runs great just had valves done. A/C doesn;'t work probaly needs freon. 3.5l v6 automatic. Aftermarket radio HAS AUX JACK. New headlight lenses, new intake tube, new break pads
Pros: new break pads
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
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
Vehicle:
BMW
Great cars. They like to eat brakes in regular intervals. With 70k make sure there is no front end shimmy that is the result in worn control arm bushings/warped brake rotors.
Cons: eats brakes regularly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 70000 km
I changed pads twice, tires once, and nothing else aside from wipers and filters.
Pros: practically maintenance free
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 152000 km
At 105k miles the rotors are fine and it just got front pads.
Pros: rotors are fine
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 168000 km
Brakes are excellent
Pros: brakes are excellent

BMW
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
Vehicle:
BMW
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
My buddy's Honda ELF seized a caliper on the way down a mountain. By the time we found a place to pull over, the pad material had caught fire. That was exciting.
Pros: pad material caught fire
Cons: caliper seized

Honda
