Edit: just noticed this is a 1M thread. Comments below mainly apply to a 135i...
Been spending way too much time on searching for my next endurance track day pads. Looking for the pads with the least amount of noise when cold (on the street), as I will be leaving these on the car full time. I visit the track as often as once a week.
Ive reached out to members on this forum, and received amazing feedback. So a BIG THANKS to them who might be visiting this thread.
My short list:
Carbotech XP8, XP10, XP12: Heard that the XP10 is good choice, that is not too noisy on the street, has decent cold bite, is not too hard on rotors, and is affordable.
Hawk DTC-60 or DTC-70: More bite that Carbotech. Harder on rotors, most affordable endurance pad out there. More noisy than others when cold.
Pagid RS29: Popular choice for Porsche owners. Pads last longer. More noise when cold. Gentle on rotors. more expensive.
Endless ME20: Most expensive of the bunch. Harder to find. Last long. Gentle on rotors.
