Brake discs Bosch or OEM BMW

Bosch Brake discs

When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.

I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.

Pros: much better, long lasting

I think I did some deep dive research and settled on Bosch quiet cast with Akebono pads. I think I’ve also used eccentric in the past. No complaints with any of the above.

Pros: no complaints

Just replaced front rotors and pads with Bosch semi-metallics. After initial “bedding in”, including some sharp braking from speed and emergency stops from various speeds, I went on a long trip. Straight away, I noticed that whenever I start to apply the front brakes after a sustained period of acceleration, there is a single knock/pop sound that comes from around the front left of the vehicle.

Pros: brakes seem to work well
Cons: single knock/pop sound
