Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM BMW
Reviews
My understanding is the OEM brakes have well-rounded performance. In spider chart terms, it would look like a round pizza with one slice taken off, and that would be due to dust. They still excel with high performance, solid longevity all at a reasonable cost
Pros: high performance, long lasting
Cons: lots of dust
Vehicle:
BMW X3
K12GT checking in. It’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever ridden. I wish the brakes weren’t made of wood but, I’m used to “quirks” of BMW’s now, after 200K on 1150 (RT & GS-A)
Pros: smoothest bike ever ridden
Cons: brakes made of wood
Mileage: 200000 km
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.
Pros: affordable pricing
Vehicle:
BMW
I installed R56 front brakes.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
MINI
i have an 80zx with an sbc swap, i’ve rebuilt all 4 brakes, replaced a master, swapped coiled did bushings replaced u joints
Pros: aftermarket solutions
M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.
Cons: tail-happy under braking
Vehicle:
BMW
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.
Pros: smooth pedal feel
Cons: lots of brake dust
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.
Pros: same performance, less mess
Cons: lots of dust
The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
Cons: awful brake dust
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
Mileage: 3000 km
And jesus christ. $600 for rear pads and rotors? the the parts are like $250 and labor shouldn't be over $200...
Cons: expensive rear pads and rotors
