Brake pads OEM BMW or WILWOOD

Used them twice. Both times had excellent speedy service for a good price. Both times were brakes on my 3 series (front discs and pads, then rears). Saved a significant chunk of cash.

Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).

The pads on my 2019 Alltrack are wearing nicely as there is plenty of life left at 52,500 miles.

I can't say much towards your brakes since I have a G30. However, I was quoted $1850 for my front M Sport brakes. I ended up doing it myself for $900 in parts only. It's not very complicated.

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

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.

My F82 never has engine cooling issues. The DCT needs a 1qt overfill or a better pan once you pick up pace on sticky tires. Unless you're boosting to the moon, you won't have engine cooling issues though. Brakes are the weakest bit. The stockers feel good, but you really need to cool them.

My understanding is that the pads that bmw uses create a lot of brake dust because they are ‘soft’ to give a nice smooth pedal feel.

It’s almost as if spirited driving causes wear.

Meanwhile, my basic 330i standard rear brakes were apparently almost 500 bucks to replace…holy cow I don’t think I actually make bmw money anymore hahaha
