Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM BMW

15k miles on powerstop “street sport” whatever pads with raybestos painted and coated rotors. Powerstop shoes and drums in the rear. All well so far, hardware appeared quality, pads have a little more bite than whatever was on it when I bought it.

Absolutely love em, and I abuse them, they still last

I have had great luck with the full ceramic power stop kit as well.

I've used Powerstop in the past and like them. Good stopping power, low dust, good price.

For a street only car, powerstop pads are what I ran for the longest time; very little to no brake dust, and I feel they bite better than auto part store pads; if you want to head into track-ready/entry pads, then the rest of the comments here are a decent guide at what to look for

I have powerstop on all four corners with no issues.

I used power stop for years they're great.

Power stops are fine. I've used them. My rears are still good at 240k miles.

I think it's a thing with German cars. The rotors warp too easily. The thing that bugs me the most about German cars are the brake pads. They so freaking dusty!

Rear with power stop ceramic pads top rotors fine, bottom OEM pads rotors screwed and feedback being felt all rotors replaced 2nd time at 20,000km good will and now 37,000km fronts are same old backs are fine.
