I will move to Raybestos EHT or PowerStop Z23 or Z26 when its time. Wagner has Thermoquiets for those with ear problems.
I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.
I'd just buy any of the old line good quality aftermarket that are aiming at OEM. Raybestos, Bendix, Wagner. Or just buy BMW OEM.
AC Delco for electronics. Moog for suspension. Raybestos for brakes.
brakes are replaced by Raybestos Police purpose built brakes, and any other part, interior or exterior, is replaced as needed.
In terms of driving impressions, well...it feels heavy and clumsy around town. The steering is very heavy...forget twirling the wheel with a finger. The shifter is mounted low and away. It takes effort to shift, and it's very solid and mechanical (rod shifter). The clutch is progressive but the friction point is not very obvious. Ride is quite good, and push through the clumsy feeling and she can dance. Brakes are hysterically soft, typical for a SHO.
I was still on the original pads/rotors when I sold it back in '04 and not a day goes by that I don't miss it.
