I NEED BRAKES, What do you have and how do they perform?
Hi everyone
I need brakes
Let me know what you have/recommend?
Cheapest place to BUY (Not install, for that I go to RMP)
I'm thinking X-Drilled and EBC Green
I found a place on Kijiji for X-Drilled 90 bucks a pair
Anyone using these (If you know what I'm talking about)

Go with one of the following pads:
Hawk HPS
Akebono Euro
And if you really want cross-drilled rotors, try Zimmerman if you're budget is tight or go for Brembo.

Stoptech & PBR
I have been running Stoptech rotors and PBR deluxe pads for years now on my 323ci , previously KVR rotors and EBC greens, the KVR's were crap they had a rotor coating that screwed up the EBC pads ability to bed properly and made a huge mess of my white car.
Stock has by far the best braking power but makes far too much dust, the Stopech & Deluxe work great together, no dust whatsoever and about 95% of the bite as OEM BMW! 
I've got an extra set for sale, given that they last so long, I won't need 'em.

go zimmerman rotors or OEM, dont buy cheap brakes !
bmw's have big brakes overall if you buy crap then you will feel them through the steering wheel all the time once they start warping !

my next rotors are euro oem m3 rotors (they come drilled. oem and drilled can't be beat) and thinking about pbr or hawk...i think they are the same. or ult model pads....i forget the exact name.
