Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

Especially if you've got a 2019+ Mk7.5, stock Performance Pack brakes will be plenty. That's what I brought to the Dragon. Just make sure your brake fluid is good and you're not due for new pads and rotors for a bit.

1.4 auto is a good box. Will be nippy but get the brakes checked and renewed if necessary.

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.

If you find a used BMW that has been well taken care of, especially one with an inline 6 cylinder, you should have very few issues for 5 years of ownership. A few examples in my family… 2003 X5 4.4i just regular maintenance including new brakes for 5 years of ownership and 60k some miles.

My 21’ m340i xdrive was oil changes annually and a new set of tires. Need a new set soon. About $1,000 for pilot sports. Did brakes last week. $600 for the rears. At 70,000 miles.

My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.

The rear brakes did fail earlier than I would've hoped at 26,000 miles, but this is a known issue.

Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.

I'm convinced the MK6 just has shitty brakes (I mean they do stop but I think they're just bad). I've had 2 of them and they both wear unevenly, hang up, or just in general wear out too quickly.
