Need new brake pads for my 428i xdrive

straightdraw84 · 11-23-2019, 08:35 PM

I was wondering if my fellow owners had any good input?

I was thinking Bosch, read some good things about them and the price is nice.

Thanks

I did a ton of research prior to choosing brake pads. The Hawk 5.0 pads are superior to OEM pads in every way. Highly recommend them.

Thanks for the input, I see they're much more expensive than the Bosch ones, I don't understand the "performance" boost from the Hawk ones to justify that price. (I don't race lol)

straightdraw84, are you satisfied with OEM brake pads: initial bite, dust level?

They're alright, just need to change the rear ones

I should have asked earlier if your rotors need to be replaced. How many miles does your vehicle have?

Unless specific changes in braking performance are required, OEM pads are just fine. My vehicle - 2017 BMW 440i GC - has M Sport brakes. Front brake pads have been just replaced with OEM brake pads. I like the initial bite and brake dust does not bother me.

Rotors are fine, just the rear brake pads should be done, I'm still thinking Bosch
