Brake pads OEM BMW or JURID

My understanding is the OEM brakes have well-rounded performance. In spider chart terms, it would look like a round pizza with one slice taken off, and that would be due to dust. They still excel with high performance, solid longevity all at a reasonable cost

The Jurid pads did work. They were 13.8mm that seems to be the key.

K12GT checking in. It’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever ridden. I wish the brakes weren’t made of wood but, I’m used to “quirks” of BMW’s now, after 200K on 1150 (RT & GS-A)

My local dealer has the “value service” pricing on BMW USA’s website, front rotors/pads/sensors on an 18 330 x drive for $419.95 front and $435.95 rear.

I installed R56 front brakes.

Good braking, squeak free, low dust. The OE pads are great. They have good initial bite, no noise, high quality but they are semi-metallic so they make a bunch of dust. There are ceramic pad options that are low dust but they can be squeaky and won’t perform that great until they are warmed up. And of course you can get bargain bin organic pads which will have low dust but won’t perform nearly as well as stock. It’s a trade off no matter what. I went with the OE Jurid pads. I’d rather clean my wheels than lose braking performance or deal with noise. Also keep in mind that the rotors matter with noise and dust too.

BMW OEM pads have done that for decades as far as I can tell. Just get aftermarket pads and you'll get the same performance with less mess.

The pads were about 60% worn and hard large metal shards embedded in them and the rotors have always been badly grooved from day 1. This suggest that its more likely the rotor that is a soft material. Once there are metal shards in the pads that will cause uneven friction and promote brake grab and pulsing. I replaced the pads and the \u201cwarp\u201d pulsing has gone completely, but I suspect the new pads will also eventually pick up metal shards from the rotor. The other point is in case people want to avoid factory pads is that the front pads are Jurid and the rears ATE. I ve replaced all with Padid.

Hey there, maybe you can help me out with the embarrassingly loud brakes on my g80 m3 (does not have the $8k carbon brakes package).

I bought it new and since day 1, the brakes have squealed incredibly bad. Not bad like "this is performance brakes so you have to tolerate it because you bought a sports car," which is what BMW has told me 50 times now. But awful, ear piercing, screeching every single time I brake. I took the shop foreman on a ride who agreed it was the worst he's ever heard.

The brakes. Looks all OE. The dust is unbelievable awful.
