Brake pads Akebono or JURID

The Jurid pads did work. They were 13.8mm that seems to be the key.

Yeah definitely don't buy the OEM brembo pads. Akebono pads are pretty popular but there's mixed reviews on noise/dust levels. Someone recommended Akebono to me, so have been running them for a few months and have had great results so far.

I have always used and trusted akebono pads. I've used them in Jeeps, Land rovers, Toyotas, Ford's, my 335i...you name it. Much less brake dust. Very quiet. Long lasting.

On my street bmws I have been using akebono pads whenever possible. They dust a fraction of the OE compound. Zimmerman/textar and even akebono rotors are good from what I’ve seen.

I use the Akebono pads on a 2013. Those are spring retention clips. I think the idea is to push the pads away from the rotor when you aren't braking. It's a weird design because the spring clip is only on one side of the pad. I've seen other cars use spring clips on each side of the pad The setup in those pics looks right to me where the clips are on the bottom. Also the factory OEM pads (Akebono too) have a similar design.

I love Akebono brake pads, but I don't want to buy them for a brand new car.

Akebono makes great fully ceramic brake pads that have been long lasting, zero brake dust, and only a little squeakiness when they're cold for the first few brake presses at worst.

I went with akebono brake pads which leave a lot less dust than the OEM pads and wear slower.

I have been using this brand for ever. Perfect fit and quiet.

On any modern BMW model those pads make the pedal noticeably softer, to the point where it almost feels like air in the lines. I've swapped many sets out due to clients being unhappy with the feel. Works fine on older ones though.
