Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM BMW
Rotors and brake pads set you back about 3k every 3 years. Very easy to replace on your own as well.
Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.
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.
From brakes have been solid
Still on the factory brake pads too.
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 $400 no rotors were replaced.
Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.
65k miles rav4 mine was down to 3mm which was in the red on the brake thickness gauge.
The steering was the worst of all the cars I tried. Engine was fabulous but transmission not very responsive. Handling and suspension usability range were solid but the killer for this car was the really soft, weak brakes.
However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.
