Brake pads OEM BMW or GALFER

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

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.

On my previous EV, a BMW i3, the brake pads were the same as the Mini Cooper (except for the 2014, which used a shaved-down pad for some reason).

I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend

I just bought pads, rotors and sensors. Went with BMW branded, lifetime replacement warranty makes it a no brainier.

Used them twice. Both times had excellent speedy service for a good price. Both times were brakes on my 3 series (front discs and pads, then rears). Saved a significant chunk of cash.

My F82 never has engine cooling issues. The DCT needs a 1qt overfill or a better pan once you pick up pace on sticky tires. Unless you're boosting to the moon, you won't have engine cooling issues though. Brakes are the weakest bit. The stockers feel good, but you really need to cool them.

My understanding is that the pads that bmw uses create a lot of brake dust because they are ‘soft’ to give a nice smooth pedal feel.

Meanwhile, my basic 330i standard rear brakes were apparently almost 500 bucks to replace…holy cow I don’t think I actually make bmw money anymore hahaha

Same here. I basically drive a few times per week and clean the wheels at least twice!
