Brake pads Bendix or OEM BMW

I'm still using the factory rotors as they calipered just fine within spec at 132k. I just put on some standard Bendix ceramic for under $20. Didn't even turn my rotors because they were smooth as glass as I live in the south. Made sure to service the slide pins of course. As far as durability, you just can't beat the factory rotors so if they are still within spec, I see no reason to replace.

Basically they feel factory new with a nice progressive pedal dynamic.

I got Bendix rotors and Bendix ceramic pads from rock auto reasonably priced. Works very well

I always bought BMW genuine brake pads and rotors, and never had an issue. They work great.

Shoot, I turned the rotors and got Bendix pads from RockAuto. Stopped great and smooth.

I just shopped around for the brake pads for my 2 series, got the front ones done for £150. It was a trusted garage and they inspected the large m sport discs and said there was life for another set of pads on them after this new set. I’m also quite a light braker, so discs and pads tend to last me a long time.

OEM BMW Performance. Can’t recommend the brake pads though, dusty as hell. I had Hawk HPS5.0 pads before, those performed better than the OE pads with the added bonus of being very low dust.

Been using Bendix metal king for my cars. Yes the brake dust sucks, but the braking fade is superior.

As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.

Matigas Bendix. Used it on my tucson. Nahihirapan mag brake.

The problem with Bendix pads is that they eat away the rotors too fast.
