Brake pads OEM BMW or Tesla
Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 60000 km
2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 102000 km
I have about 50k miles on my 2018 M3. Pads still seem to have plenty of life left.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 50000 km
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

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
My F82 never has engine cooling issues. The DCT needs a 1qt overfill or a better pan once you pick up pace on sticky tires. Unless you're boosting to the moon, you won't have engine cooling issues though. Brakes are the weakest bit. The stockers feel good, but you really need to cool them.
Pros: stockers feel good
Cons: brakes are weakest bit

I’m at around 104k in my 3, on original pads but had an issue with the rear clips causing some squeaks and need to replace those.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: squeaking, clip issue
Mileage: 104000 km
Meanwhile, my basic 330i standard rear brakes were apparently almost 500 bucks to replace…holy cow I don’t think I actually make bmw money anymore hahaha
Cons: expensive brakes

Same here. I basically drive a few times per week and clean the wheels at least twice!
Cons: lots of brake dust
