Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM BMW
Reviews
Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.
Pros: easy to install
For me, this car is all about the brakes in terms of gaining lap time. You need to really trail hard into and during the corner and of course it’s a rocket after that.
Pros: gaining lap time
Vehicle:
BMW
From brakes have been solid
Pros: solid performance
Vehicle:
BMW
On a 428 both lower control forward arms including labor I believe $320 to $350
Brake pads brake, w e a r sensor and I believe both speed sensors under $400 no rotors were replaced.
Pros: regular mechanic, no inflated prices
Vehicle:
BMW
Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.
Pros: save money, DIY possible
Cons: special tools needed
Vehicle:
BMW
I have a friend with a near-identicle Zenki to mine, his is powered by a built single turbo rb26. He's making well in excess of 700whp and the z32s are plenty of brake for him as a point of reference.
Pros: plenty of brake for 700whp
Vehicle:
Nissan
Have a 16 535i, took ownership at ~30k km and now at ~80k km. Front brake pads (re used old rotor but will change once I get through current set).
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 80000 km
2001 740i never had any issues with the throttle response but the brakes could be better. Too spongy and not as responsive as my 99 540i was.
Cons: spongy, not responsive
Vehicle:
BMW
As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.
Cons: small rear brakes
Welcome - get used to it, unfortunately!
Cons: lots of brake dust
