Brake pads OEM Volvo or OEM BMW

On a 428 both lower control forward arms including labor I believe $320 to $350

Brake pads brake, w e a r sensor and I believe both speed sensors under $400 no rotors were replaced.

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.

I always bought BMW genuine brake pads and rotors, and never had an issue. They work great.

I just shopped around for the brake pads for my 2 series, got the front ones done for £150. It was a trusted garage and they inspected the large m sport discs and said there was life for another set of pads on them after this new set. I’m also quite a light braker, so discs and pads tend to last me a long time.

I do change oil and brake pads by myself for my xc60 and xc90.

Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.

As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.

Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).
