Hey so after owning my gt for about 3 weeks now I feel like the OEM pads aren't that effective? I feel like it needs more bite to it. I have akebono pads on my TL and I guess I'm still used to those still.

Any recs on non oem pads that provide better stopping power than bmw pads? Thanks!

I put Akebono pads on my f30. Great stopping power and low dust

Installing power stop pads next weekend I'll let you know how it goes. They were a great price on rock auto

Does your car have M Sport or regular brakes?

I have the regular calipers, non m sport.

I've just installed yellow stuff pads on mine, very happy so far. Much better initial bite.

How'd these turn out for you? Also did you just replace the pads but keep the factory discs or did you replace those as well?
