Brake pads TRW or Mintex

I swapped my stocks for TRW/Zimmerman pad/rotors and so far they feel good.

I have Akebono on my 330 and TRW Ultra TXC1171 on my 328, I have to say the TRWs have excellent bite and the brake dust is minimal as well.

I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet

Just did the rear brakes on my 2015 335i

Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.

Just did the front pads and rotors on my wife’s 2020. Went with Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads and it brakes like a dream, was recommended them from a friend's euro and exotic shop.

TRW Ceramic Pads: Good for city driving, almost not dust, would not recommend for any track

I currently have TRW NAO pads and zimmerman rotors all around on my S60, very dusty but bites harder than ceramic, especially when they are cold.

I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.

You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
