Brake Pad recommendations

Northsiderz · 05-03-2017, 03:15 PM

I have a '14 335i with the standard 4 piston Brembo brakes up front and the single piston floating calipers in back. The dust on these are a little too much for me. I just picked up this CPO so I'm still new to BMW. I've been trying to research on my own but it always helps to ask the ones that have actually used them. I'm looking for a good low dust option for my car.

I don't track it or plan to. What is out there that will provide comparable stopping power with substantially lower dust? I've recently applied a Chemical Guys wheel wax that seems to help but my pads are still the issue. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hawk 5.0 are low dusting. G-Loc GS1's are low dusting as well.

Some feedback from the M3/4 crowd.

I just installed them on my F31. They feel very good but need to put some more miles on them. I also just installed the M Performance brake kit and need the car programmed. So I'm not all done yet.

I replaced my rears, which were due, with PosiQuiet's from Turner. They make for an amazing difference. Now, when I wash my car, I smirk when I see the front wheels near black caked with brake dust compared to the still pretty clean rears.

I was sick of all the brake dust on my 330i E46. I installed Akebono ceramic pads. Problem solved! There was very, very little dust.

The problem though was that the Akebono's sucked; they had poor initial bite and little feel. I like the M-Sport brakes on my 335i now and realize that dust is part of the compromise for good brakes.

However, I did put some low-dust Pagid's on my E36 M3 many years ago, and the brakes performed well as I recall....

+1 for Akebonos. I have them on my wife's 1er and they are great - not a speck of dust.

+1 had these on my IS250 (which were known to vomit dust with the oem pads) zero dust after install. IMO didnt feel the difference in initial bite, but that maybe due to the oem ones not having amazing bite either

I've used Hawk Ceramics on several BMWs including my 09 335i with great results both in braking, low noise and dust. I'll be doing a pad and rotor replacement this fall and that is what i will probably use again.
