For simplicity and staying close to OE I went with BMW Performance brake setup. Works with your 17" wheels, straight bolt on. Basically 135i 6 piston Brembo fronts and 328i rears (only difference here is slightly larger single piston - 42 vs 40mm., rear pads remain the same ). Should be plenty unless you spend a lot of time on the track. For pads, lots of options and opinions here. For me, for the street and the odd half hour of track time, stock was way too dusty and fade prone. Went EBC Redstuff front, stock rear. No noise, no dust but still fade prone. Just ordered the new Cool Carbon S/T PLUS. Supposed to be a big improvement over old S/T's which had a reputation for crumbling with too much heat while still being low dust/noise. We'll see how they work.
