Ceramic brake pad options for F36 435 X-drive GC
Has anyone here upgraded their brake pads to ceramics on their F36 435 xdrive GC?
I had akenbono's on my S4 and they were awesome, barely any brake dust, no noise and sharp bite. I found these but they say for 428i only.. https://www.carid.com/2016-bmw-4-ser...-94693012.html |

I only do not recommend Ate Ceramic.
Those are squeaky when cold and don't hold spirited driving.

I'm looking for ceramic pads for my 340 m-sport with no luck as well. I had Brembo ceramic pads on my E90, and they were amazing. Great feel, no dust. Can't find them for the F30 though.....

Wires - if they make akebono ceramics for your car I would highly recommend.
As an update, just ordered Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Performance Ceramic front and rear Brake Pads... installing in 2 weeks, will post a review. |

I checked ECS Tuning, and they claim the EBC Red Stuff pads fit my setup. I have a set on order and they should be here end of the month.
Thanks ajg.esq for the suggestion. I have heard great things about those pads. |

Yellows unfortunatelly are track-oriented, and squeak like hell when heat up.

They bite about the same as the OEM when cold and get better/more aggressive the hotter they get. I've never had any other pad in 30 years driving with less brake dust. Just make sure you give them a good slow bedding in as recommended!

Check out ECSTuning, they were the only site that listed pads for my 340i (even though they apparently fit back to ~2011).
I put on the EBC red's this morning. The F30 is really easy for brake swaps, and took about 2 hours with a floor jack and leisure install. On the F30 (2016 m-sport), the EBC part numbers are: Front EBC RedStuff Performance Brake Pad Set Mfg Part #DP32130C Rear EBC RedStuff Performance Brake Pad Set Mfg Part #DP32133C Last edited by Wires; 12-30-2016 at 08:50 AM.. |

As an update, had the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Performance Ceramic pads installed yesterday. Bedded them last night. 1000x improvement over stock. Good bite, improved stopping distance, very pleased.

I have the M Sport Brakes on my F36 and switched to the Power Stop Ceramic pads. I'm liking the switch so far. Positive pedal feel, good stopping power and now no more squeal. I haven't ridden them long enough to comment on dust, but I'm sure they will be less than stock.
