I've been using Hawk 5.0 They're marketed as a "high performance street" pad. I've done track days with them and theyve held up but they're "street" enough that they don't take forever to get warm. Maybe it's my lack of experience with other pads but they are kinda dusty.
Always had good luck in the past with Hawk HPS pads.
Brake dust difference between stock Akebono pads on the front and Hawk Performance Ceramic on the rear. The backs would usually be about 70% as dusty as the fronts and now they're essentially clean
I've been tracking my 335i for a few years now, ive used ebc yellowstuff, and bluestuff pads. But they dont even hold a candle to the hawk ht10 pads I have in my spec e46, easily my favorite part of that car.
I recommend Power Stop ceramic pads and solid rotors. The 6 is an economy car by design. So, there are no practical or worthy trade offs to other types of rotors/material besides aesthetics.Since it's a 16', I highly recommend doing a full brake job even if your mileage is low. If I am correct, the 2016 model has an electronic brake that requires a service mode to be able to do the job(refer to manual since I can't help you on that).
I installed the power stop ck8067 and I’m happy with them. I went with the geomet coating to help with corrosion around the bolts and wheel hub; the coating gets worn off behind the pads instantly. Only time will tell how much it helps though.
hawk hps 5.0 pads all around
I love my power stop brakes. Got a whole kit on rock auto with pads as well as drilled/slotted rotors. Been running it for over 2 years with no complaints at all, they’ve been fantastic brakes
They are absolutely not track pads. They fill this awkward in-between in which they have the coefficient of friction and modulation of good aggressive street pads but also dust and make tons of noise in street usage.
the increased rotor size creates a noticeable lag in acceleration and when cornering you feel the increased inertia in the steering wheel. after having this setup on my car for a year i'm going back to stock (just some drilled rotors, stainless lines and hawk pads). not a fan.
