Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

Parts cost about 500$ for front and rear brakes if do yourself.

It has new brakes, oil pan gasket, VCG, new radiator, hoses, fan, fan clutch, water pump and a few other things I’m forgetting.

well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors

Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.

Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.

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).

I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.

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.

The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
