Brake discs STOPTECH or OEM BMW

I have stop tech slotted rotors, EBC green stuff pads, ECS stainless steel lines.. (custom SBK) I like them a lot and have had a couple shops tell me they like them to .. need to do legit fluid and I’ll be set.

I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.

I've had Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Reds for three or four years now. They've been great!

StopTech Sport Slotted rotors have taken a ton of abuse for me and I can't recommend them highly enough

daily driving, you can get a full set of bosch pads from rock auto for ~60$. I like stoptech slotted rotors to help get debris off the pads. they also hold up a bit better than standard blanks. drilled rotors are mostly for looks and can crack much easier under heat unless you are spending big bucks on a high end rotor, which imo isn’t worth the cost.

I have the Stoptech Z23 slotted and drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads. Overall, I’m happy with them. The biggest complaint is that they use undersized brake pads, which is a feature that performance pads have in order to accommodate expansion under high heat. Because they’re undersized, when you brake in the opposite direction that you brakes last, they will “click” as they shift slightly inside the caliper. They don’t do it while driving unless you change direction, but I would have considered less aggressive pads if I knew they would do this. That said, I have had zero issues and great braking performance in spirited driving and emergency braking, over the last 45K miles or so.

I upgraded to stoptech drilled rotors with the posi quiet pads. I'm happy with the performance on street for spirited driving, and they create much less dust than my old Hawk HPS pads.

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

currently sitting at 179k km.

brake discs/pads/fluid

I have Stoptech rotors and EBC Yellow stuff pads. I like the feel, the dust not so much.

You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.
