Consider Project Mu Club Racers. They’re not the most aggressive pads but hold up decently well on track depending on your pace and are surprisingly streetable.

Pros: decent on track, surprisingly streetable
Cons: not most aggressive

Rating 5.0

Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.

Pros: less dust
Cons: red dust
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: B58 super reliable
Cons: expensive maintenance

Mileage: 50000 km

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.

Pros: regular maintenance
Cons: new brakes
Vehicle: BMW X5
Mileage: 96560 km

I have a 2016 435i with several mods (Pureturbos Stage 2 hybrid turbocharger, MHD Pure OTS 93 octane tune, XHP stage 3 transmission tune, CTS catless downpipe, BMS cold air intake, BC racing BR coilovers) at 138000 miles that i purchased september 2024. Within the first year of ownership i had to repair/replace brake-pads&rotors, radiator piping, a/c compressor, spark plug and coils, driver-side rear be damper, abs sensor, driver-side headlight day-time running lights and Engine undershield.

Pros: daily driver
Cons: many repairs needed

And even the normal things they need are a little pricier than on normal cars; you might need ($300) brake pads and ($1,000) brake rotors in 50,000 or 60,000 miles instead of just ($250) brake pads.

Pros: normal things needed
Cons: little pricier than normal
