Brake pads OEM FORD or OEM BMW
My Ford C-max hybrid has 113k miles on it. It's engine has around 80k miles on it. I change the oil like once a year. I've never touched the brakes because it barely uses them.
Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).
Had this on our Ford Kuga £860. Did it myself although I already have all the tools for £280 all round.
The pads on my 2019 Alltrack are wearing nicely as there is plenty of life left at 52,500 miles.
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.
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
My understanding is that the pads that bmw uses create a lot of brake dust because they are ‘soft’ to give a nice smooth pedal feel.
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.
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
Same here. I basically drive a few times per week and clean the wheels at least twice!
