Brake pads Textar or Ferodo

I paid 800 all in for tarox front and rear dics and ferodo pads on my f10 535d and fitted it myself in a day..

I got Zimmerman rotors and Textar brake pads for my 2013 550i with the M package. Everything is been working great for the last 6 months.

I run DS3.12 now and ran DS1.11 on my previous car on track and love them (better then PFC-08)

My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.

Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.

At the shop I run, we use textar pads on Zimmerman rotors. For some reason textar on textar always make noise on BMWs ( we elevated our complaints all the way to Textar, and they sent a rep to finally shrug). Pagid pads are ok, but I find they wear out more quickly.

My go to brake pad is Textar. Why? Less problems. Since I own a shop, any warranty issue is wasted time. I will not charge a client to make it right. I do not have time to do the job a second time.

I have good experience with Textar pads, both epad and normal ones. Currently I have ATE rotors, but they had to be resurfaced because of warping, so no recommendation from me

I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.

so much dust with textar pads on Zimmerman rotors.  3 weeks later my alloys are black.
