Brake pads Raybestos or OEM BMW

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.

I would look at Raybestos, Wagner, Bendix, Bosch, or any of the major parts store brands.

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.

And put full timing chain service -cam chain (chain, guides, tensioner), VVT cam adjuster, vacuum pump, cam follower, high pressure fuel pump rebuild, vvt spring seals(viaco and uro)\ncomplete timing belt kit with water pump and idler pullies, new brakes all around(raybestos pads and rotors) , new spark plugs and coils(Bosch and ngk), valve cover gasket, PCV replacement(new diaphragm and hoses), new cabin filter, new air filter, new fuel filter. and all fluids just done.

OEM is never bad for the brakes, Raybestos and EBC are considered some of the best for Xterras, both give you plenty of different options to go with as well. Personally, Raybestos was easy and shipped within a week

Model 1168, Raybestos brakes. The charms inside are a brake rotor and brake pad. Didnt come with a box, but its pretty nice. Anyway, it was totally worth $180..

These cars are notorious for eating rear brakes. The pads are just so small. I get Raybestos on Rockauto.

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.

E65 730D, squeaky brakes and suspension, engine mounts shot, interior semi clean apart from the ashtray

I installed raybestos and having so many issues with them already feeling warped and noisy brakes.
