Brake pads Brembo or OEM BMW

The brembos make a big difference.

Brembo SA/SP material for good performance price ratio.

Brembo LA material for longevity vs performance ratio.

I use brembro all the time, and they honestly last longer I think. I use them on my 9-3 2.8V6 convertible

Edit: I used the M-tec rotates drilled and grooved with the brembro brakes, front and rear

My braking is much better especially on a long drive with hot days, no brake fade at all

The brakes that come with the performance package have plenty of stopping power and never leave you wanting for more.

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

Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.

500 is kinda a lot for just front pads and rotors, i bought a set of Brembo from rock auto for my 2021, it was like 178$ with tax and shipping and i did it my self in under an hour, its actually really easy if you have a set of basic tools and a c-clamp, id run your finger on the outside lip of the rotor if you have a edge replace if not id just replace break pads.

Bei ganz normalen Scheiben (ohne Schlitze und Löcher) wird es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen ATE und Brembo geben. Beim Thema Beläge ist definitiv Brembo besser. Brembo sind aber ehr Performance Beläge, zwar nicht auf Track Level, aber für die erhöhte Leistung ist halt auch mit höheren Verschleiß zu rechnen. Bei einem 0815 A nach B Auto reicht ATE völlig.

The steering was the worst of all the cars I tried. Engine was fabulous but transmission not very responsive. Handling and suspension usability range were solid but the killer for this car was the really soft, weak brakes.

Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
