Brake discs Brembo or OEM BMW

i bought used 2011 528i RWD N52 engine with 120k km 5 years ago.

currently sitting at 179k km.

brake discs/pads/fluid

Gx 460 calipers, Brembo rotors and akebono pads over here. Don’t bother with drilled rotors or anything unless you like the look.

I changed to Brembo drilled rotors and Pagid pads and the problem has gone away completely on both cars, now at 20K miles since the change.

Brembo UV coated so the exposed parts don’t rust up and EBC Reds ceramic pads. Great combo.

I put on brembo rotors and EBC yellow stuff. I followed the break in procedure and have had no issues. Stops great even from 130+

If you’re going to replace the front rotors, I recommend going with some coated rotors, like Brembo 09.C306.11, to prevent rusted rotors where the brake pads don’t make contact.

Saves energy when braking. Its really satisfying to see the range go up when slowly braking downhill. This also saves your brake discs from wearing out fast, (just remember to use the brakes some times so they dont rust).

on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.

I bought Brembo rotors from tirerack for my Toyota sienna. They warped shortly after.

I have a 2008 Kia ProCeed and last year in April I changed front brake discs and pads. They were the most expensive parts I could get and are from Brembo which I know as being a good manufacturer of brakes. Anyway, after 6 months I started experiencing vibrations under braking which only grew stronger over time. I had the brakes checked at my local mechanic and he noticed both front discs were warped.
