Full ATE PowerDisc and Ceramic pad brake overhaul done today - I’ve run these discs & pads a few times now on previous E39s inc. both my Jap import E39s and they’re superb.

Excellent bite from the off / cold and little to no dust.

Pros: Excellent bite, little dust
Vehicle: BMW

Pros: much better than Brembo

ATE Brake discs

I have had a positive experience with ATE rotors from a German brand. I had a bad experience with Bosch brake pads in Europe a few times; they squeaked and made noises at low speeds

Pros: positive experience with rotors
Cons: squeaked and made noises

GALFER Brake discs

I got a set of the galfer wave rotors and they absolutely screamed no matter what I did. I cleaned everything and rebedded the pads half a dozen times and even switched to organic pads thinking I was doing something wrong. Finally just tried different rotors and my brakes were dead silent

Pros: dead silent brakes
Cons: screaming brakes
