OEM BMW Brake pads

I got quoted well over a grand to do all 4 brake pads at the dealer. I went to a local garage and they did it for half

Pros: cheaper at local garage
Cons: expensive at dealer

OEM BMW Brake pads

Just for front brakes/rotors at my dealership they wanted $1,100. I found a shop that is highly rated and they got it done, plus an oil change, for $550. So half the dealership and an oil change to boot. I\u2019ll never go to the dealership again unless it\u2019s an electronics issue.

Pros: cheaper at local shop
Cons: expensive at dealership

My dealer charges about $1100 for rear brakes and rotors, and about $1200 for front brakes and rotors, so $2300ish total. I got all pads and rotors done at a local shop for about $1100, and transmission fluid (+ pan and filter) done for $750 at the same shop.

Pros: cheaper at local shop
Cons: expensive at dealer

A common brake upgrade to the E34 5 series was to install E38 (7 series) brakes. Only downside is you also have to install larger wheels.

Pros: better braking performance
Cons: requires larger wheels

At 55,XXX miles and still haven’t changed my brakes on 2019 AWD Mazda 3(not as heavy as yours but heavier than a FWD 3) Last service, I was in the green for both sets still, but they said I would likely be in “yellow” by 60-65k. I did want to note—I hear no scraping/squealing and brakes feel relatively strong just not as great as new.

Pros: brakes feel strong
Cons: not as great as new

My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.

Pros: easy DIY repair
Cons: rear pads worn at 52k

Seems a bit sus - but it's not unusual for rear pads to wear faster than front on certain cars. My Ford Flex and CX-50 both wear pads faster out back (it made sense on the Flex because of long wheelbase but was surprised the 50 did it too). That said they should last twice as long.

Cons: rear pads wear fast

easy 40 minute job to replace brakes on my 14 Mazda 3 took about two hours. It all pops off super easy going great. Go to put them on, well shit they don't fit. Try the other side for some reason thinking I'm just having a stupid moment. Doesn't work either.

Pros: easy to remove
Cons: brakes don't fit

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.

Cons: awful, ear piercing, screeching
