I prefer cost effective "BBS"; no work in pulling/rolling fenders, non re-drilling Jap BBS to make it fit, and no freak outs if my shiny new wheels get dinged/chipped while driving. I paid 1/3 the price of real BBS and got the look I wanted out of a quality, reputable dealer in BavX. I can allocate the rest of the money I would have spent on products that actually make driving more enjoyable, i.e.->m3 suspension bits or bolt-ons
saying my ride is nice despite it being "fake"---thanks broski

Thanks for appreciating the shine!
The consensus option around here is Cool Carbon brake pads (I don't have them, or anything special for that matter--still stock under there) But any ceramic based pad is going to be quieter ( the annoying squealing drives me nuts and is next on my list of things to cross off) and produce a lot less dust than the stock ones. EBC Yellowstuff, Cool Carbons, and Stop Tech is what I'm weighing between. I have a few thousand miles left I can get away with the stockers but when I switch I'll give a write up review about whatever I choose--although I'm sure a quick search can pull up results instantly as this has been a problem since BMW thought to put 6 piston calipers on. Great stopping power and bite, but so much surface area to flake from
