What brakes are you guys running?
I'm due for a front brake replacement soon, was wondering if I should get OEM or some aftermarket brakes, looking for ideas on what I should run on my 16 528i x drive

Working better than stock, and I think I have them on the car for about a year now. Running same kind of brakes on g35 for 2 years now without issues. |

Yup. It is a service item... But if your sensor still good you can use the OEM one. That is what I did. I want to pair these rotors with akebono pads next time just because of how much dust the ones come with the kit produce. But I really needed new rotors and you can't beat the price. Also, gone through Chicago winter without any rust as they are zinc coated. My 535i is also 2011.

Nope zero issues, my BMW mechanic was shocked when he was working on my g35 and saw the rotors were in excellent condition after 2 years.

as for the truck braking distance seems the same even tho it got heavier from the big lift install and running larger 35's mud tires? tho i don't know if the upgraded stainless steel lines have a part in it? what i pretty much keep an eye on is any warping or cracking really and any type of scoring or grooving on the rotors. but for the BMW cause it's a BMW i'm a bit hesitant on that and i don't know why that is? maybe cause it's an expensive car with expensive repairs?

I saw videos about that issue specially the cracking and that is what I really look for and haven't seen anything like that yet. I will take pictures and post soon.
