Brake pads Akebono or OEM BMW

Just for front brakes/rotors at my dealership they wanted $1,100. I found a shop that is highly rated and they got it done, plus an oil change, for $550. So half the dealership and an oil change to boot. I\u2019ll never go to the dealership again unless it\u2019s an electronics issue.

$930 at a local BMW expert shop. That's front and rear, pads and rotors.

My dealer charges about $1100 for rear brakes and rotors, and about $1200 for front brakes and rotors, so $2300ish total. I got all pads and rotors done at a local shop for about $1100, and transmission fluid (+ pan and filter) done for $750 at the same shop.

IMO, Akebono Ceramics are the shiz. I had some on my Audi A4. Way better than stock, very little dust to clean off, and you can just get them off Amazon for less than OEM.

Akebono is the original equipment manufacturer of brake pads for Honda.

I use Akebono brake pads. Little expensive but it's the best

A common brake upgrade to the E34 5 series was to install E38 (7 series) brakes. Only downside is you also have to install larger wheels.

My wife's Cabriolet has Akebono pads, front and rear. Pedal is firm, stops fine.

Zimmermann is quality. If you want OEM brake feel go with Textar or Pagid pads. I have Akebono pads on the Z3 and don’t like them

The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
