ATE Brake discs

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

I did mine pretty early solely because the OEM rotors were wearing like a vinyl record. Both the pads and rotors still had plenty of material—it was just a bad wear pattern. I went to Girodisc pads and rotors and have had them on happily ever since.

Pros: happy with Girodisc
Cons: bad wear pattern

Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints

Pros: much better than Brembo
Cons: not recommending Brembo
