Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM KIA

I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.

Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.

I bought a 2023 kia soul specifically for uber and just hit 100000 miles. Only problems ive had are nails in my tires and recently changed my rear brake pads.

I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.

I've been driving it with a Stage 2 tune for 4 years and put another 50,000km on it and I've had 0 repairs. Maintenance is more expensive of course, bigger tires, bigger brakes, more oil, it all adds up but the B58 is super reliable.

Configuring new car I would definitelly go for ccbs. The braking power is massive. But if driving in cold weather, snow or cold rain and not touching the brake for couple of minutes on highway and the first braking after that is basically no braking.

If used incorrectly on the track you can fuck them up. Dont ask how I learned that. Swapping them to steelies now. Car is at 130k kms. The weight of ccbs is good but they starting peeling probably due to overheating them with too much worn brake pads.

Have a 16 535i, took ownership at ~30k km and now at ~80k km. Front brake pads (re used old rotor but will change once I get through current set).

Kia Sportage SUV, brakes locked up about 2K miles in, shop "fixed" it, the next week it literally spontaneously combusted in the wee hours of the morning.

You bought a BMW and now have to pay to keep it running and this is what it costs.

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.
