New Brakes 535i

Hey everyone I am in need of new brakes and rotors. Idrive tells me I have 12k miles left but the pads have visibly worn thin and the rotors are beginning to show signs of wear/grooving. I do not want to go with oem pads (dust) and I am actively seeking an alternative option so I figured I would get the opinion of the fest. I am kind of leaning toward ebc red stuff with cryo slotted rotors. I am not sold on them and would appreciate any suggestions. My driving habits are fairly rough. My commute to work is 15 miles each way and I drive my bimmer like I stole it.

P.S. looking to put on the brakes at the same time I install my new 19" Avant Garde M355 wheels with Pirelli P Nero zeros A/S in two weeks. Had the wheels for a month but this ****ty Chicago weather is not cooperating.

If you don't want to go OEM and you want a reasonable price, contact michael@acuteperformance.com

Have you personally used this set up?

Yes, I did on my old 530, I had drilled R1 rotors with Hawk HPS pads. The initial bite was a little less than OEM, but they did brake well, and there was VERY little dust. I went from having to clean the wheels every week to about every 2-3 weeks.

Interesting... I'll have to reach out to Mike, thanks for the recommendation.
