Aftermarket Brake Options
My 2014 435i Cabriolet is going to be due for a new set of front & rear brakes soon. Does anyone have any aftermarket recommendations for pads and rotors? I have the M Sport brakes with blue calipers (option S2NHA)

I put EBC Reds on mine (very happy with the lack of dust and bite). I just did a pad swap when the car was fairly new, so I don't have any rotor recomendations....

What are you trying to accomplish? -Weight savings? -Low cost? -Reduce brake dust? -Track use / daily driver? Performance wise, nothing will have a better initial bite in the cold than the OEM pad. If you want to increase performance, acceleration, braking, handling, go with a 2 piece rotor for reduced rotational mass. It makes a tremendous difference.

I'm not super concerned about saving weight and when it comes to brakes, I am willing to spend a little bit more money within reason. I'll have to look what my options are in terms of cost before I make a final decision. It's a daily driver and lower brake dust is a preference. What is your recommendation for both a one piece and two piece rotor? |

For low-dust street pads the EBC Reds and Powerstop Z23 seem to be pretty common. I've been pretty happy with my EBC Reds. |
