Brake pads Hella Pagid or OEM BMW

Good brake pads 250 and 30 minutes of work.

For me, this car is all about the brakes in terms of gaining lap time. You need to really trail hard into and during the corner and of course it’s a rocket after that.

From brakes have been solid

On a 428 both lower control forward arms including labor I believe $320 to $350

Brake pads brake, w e a r sensor and I believe both speed sensors under $400 no rotors were replaced.

Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.

It has new brakes, oil pan gasket, VCG, new radiator, hoses, fan, fan clutch, water pump and a few other things I’m forgetting.

2001 740i never had any issues with the throttle response but the brakes could be better. Too spongy and not as responsive as my 99 540i was.

Did brake rotors and pads myself parts about 400-500$. Brakes never wore out either they just warped.

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.

I went through a set on my M4 in two days. Have Pagid RSL29 now and three very hard driving days in they show little if any wear
