Hey people. My factory pads are finally dead now, and im looking for pads that will handle the track better but will also handle street driving. Any reccomendations and experiences would be much appriciated!

Pagid RSC1 front and rear pads that Bimmerworld recommends. I have them and they hardly squeal either.

Been looking at those. Do you happen to know what dimmensions the front pads are?

If you've got CCB and want to extend the life. Swap the pads at 50% thickness. If you aren't worried about burning through discs, then don't worry about it. Keeps the discs cooler and burns up less carbon is the consensus.

I am tempted to keep the OEM CCB disks and pads. I don’t drive the car much and the cost over time is small, or so I hope.

What was the estimate to get the pads replaced?

I think it's like 1100 to 1200 for pads. If you don't track the car. I think they will last well over 100k miles. That likely makes the replacement cheaper than iron. That being said I think the iron setup lasts a long time as well if you aren't tracking. I've got 20k+ miles on my iron setup and a few track days. The stock pads and discs still have life. I expect to get those replaced under the BMW extended warranty before 36k miles.

I've thought about getting a used CCB set since I swap pads for track days anyway. It wouldn't be much more work to swap rotors.

I wouldn't be able to tell you, I had the shop install them and flush my brakes at that time when I was going to the track. They're much better than stock though and having heard the smearing issue with stock pads, I didn't want to take that chance. I've noticed temp difference with them and brake ducts though.
