'12 135i Front Brake Pads
What's up yallll,
It's that time of my ownership of needing to replace my front brake pads. Any of recommendation on which ones? Where to buy? How much to spend? Etc. I appreciate it! I've got a 2012 135i if that matters! Thanks y'all, Brandon |

I'd recommend Akebono Ceramic pads for a daily. Super low dust, quiet, easy on rotors. Less expensive than pads from the dealer, but not the cheapest ones out there. Porterfield R4-S pads would be a close second, but only if you're a relatively 'enthusiastic' driver, as they're a little more dusty than the Akebono pads.
When the light goes on in the car, you've probably got around 1k miles until they're actually toast (daily driving conditions).

Unless there is something recent, Akebono doesn't make 135i pads.

I have the Cool Carbons. They are supposed to be low dust but they still dust. Quiet which I like. All in all do the job I wanted for a street pad.

Porterfield R4S is one of the best street pads out there. Stoptech Sport is just as good.

Stoptech sport are horrible. Worst pad I think I've ever used on the street.
Honestly, BMW OE pads are pretty hard to beat in terms of operating range and braking coefficient. Dust is just a function of your car being able to stop even when its 30f outside lol... |

I've heard awesome things about the Cool Carbons, especially the noise (or lack thereof).
