Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM BMW
Power stop is a great upgrade, I use the z23 pads.
They’ve been performing great, it can stop much faster. Went with Power Stop Z23 pads.
I got these. Cheap, good quality, good braking and look cool. Power Stop K7175 Front Z23 Carbon Fiber Brake Pads with Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors Kit
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
I always get Powerstop Brakes from Amazon. A set of Front & back costs me less than 500-600AED. Previously I used to buy Brembo's (OEM) as costed me 1200 AED for front & Back . I don't see any noticeable performance issues at all. The work the same way.
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
I used Power Stop Z261440 and Z261807 for a year with good results. Low dust, no squeaking
No premium tier available? But Power stop
I have their brake pads and I dislike them, the brake dust that comes off is almost 10x the amount of the oem ones
