I searched for OEM pads for the 1M, and couldn't find an exact brand and in some cases only the Front Pads were offered (being described as OEM). My question is, what is the OEM pad for the 1M and where are both Front and Rear available? Alternatively, if anyone has suggestions on inexpensive street (LOW NOISE) brakes that aren't necessarily OEM, it would be much appreciated.
I am currently using StopTech Sport brake pads (prefix 309) and are great for street and track use. They do not squeal and stopping power is better than stock pads.
If you don't want to buy BMW pads I recommend TEXTAR. I love their cold bite but they can also squeal a bit sometimes. I have played with many types on BMWs and TEXTAR is my favorite. Jurid tend to be quieter but have less cold bite usually. I have not used 1M version though but have switched often on e46 and expect close
To the same.
