Brake pads Bendix or OEM BMW

Brake pad? Bendix

I live in Socal and bought mine from a dealer out of state. Get on bimmerpost and search, there are a few like Jeff Steele from Passport BMW or a finance manager at Camarillo. If you are hard on the brakes like I am looking at Ultimate care+ is worth it. I’ve used its twice already to replace pads and rotors

Rotors and brake pads set you back about 3k every 3 years. Very easy to replace on your own as well.

Bendix premium pads will be fine paired with better rotors you will get a good performance increase , you can look into other brands etc but again no real point in going to far on pads unless its a track car all your doing is 3x the price for very small gain and sometimes a loss as normal street driving will not put enough heat into the pads to get them to operational temp making it dangerous for normal use, also excess brake dust and annoying squeal

Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.

Have a 16 535i, took ownership at ~30k km and now at ~80k km. Front brake pads (re used old rotor but will change once I get through current set).

I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.

My last foray with Bendix sucked big time.

Bendix din kinabit sa akin na brake pads nung nagpaPMS ako last year.

Maingay kapag galing sa matagal na park pero tumatahimik din pag matagal ng tumatakbo.

Binalik ko sa shop. Nilinis nila ulit preno. Tumahimik naman pero after few weeks maingay na naman.

During braking po maingay like sumisipol pero minsan naman hindi lalo na kapag maulan pero depende padin. Had my breaks cleaned, from pads to cleaning talaga like baklas. Ang gamit ko po is bendix na brake pads, makapal pa po pads.
