Hello -
I am looking to upgrade my stock brakes on my 08 335i convertible. Any suggestions/websites that is recommended? This is mainly just for everyday driving. Stock brakes wear too fast, i hate 'em

Wow - that is insane good mileage on rears, you cannot expect anything better and I have tried other pads in the past and always went back to the BMW ones - the feel and work so much better than the alternatives!

If you want improved pad performance you can check out many high performance pads out there. I changed mine to Cool Carbons based on previous evaluation done by the SF Chapter of BMWCCA and the fact that the 2007-8 model pads use the old pad formuation which has a lot of dust. I think newer 2009 pads and on use the formulation which doesn't dust and still offers good performance. Cool Carbons are superior in everyway except cold brake initial bite than the stock pads. There are other high performance pads out there too but if you want to change calipers and brake pads I believe Izamboni is getting a complete system installed. You might PM Kevin and ask him about his set up. For what it is worth I changed my pads around 50K miles to the Cool Carbons and the brake pads were maybe 40% worn so I am not hard on brakes at all and the Cool Carbons still dust some but nothing like the stock pad...
