330xi Brake Upgrade

kickingcpass · 09-07-2021, 01:04 PM

Apologies if this has been covered in the past. My 2017 330xi will be coming due for front and rear pads and likely rotors. I drive a lot of stop and go and city miles, and I'm wondering if there is a better fit for longer life than OE products. I have the standard, non-M setup.

How many miles does your car have?

Almost 80k. The front rotors are toast for sure.

Longer life? Rotors typically last about 60k miles and you got 80k!

Forget longer life. But you can get better braking performance which also means greater safety. Get Hawk 5.0 pads and StopTech crossdrilled rotors. You will feel the difference over stock brakes.

Well that's fair. Lol. I'll look them up. Thanks!
