Less dust for street duty? Porterfield R4-S or EBC Red(out of stock everywhere right now)
More bite for track duty? Fedrodo DS2500 or DS3.12 |

Switch to Isweep1500 and you’ll never go back. These ceramic pads are quiet, stop very well, and require no break in period or process. And the winning feature: super low dust keeps wheels clean much longer.
I would do both front and rear pads. They last a long time, so I’d want a matched set.

It depends on what you are looking for. If dust is a concern, I recommend the EBC reds, but they are hard to find in stock.
If you want more stopping power and less noise, get the EBC yellow

Not sure why people are on the iSweep bandwagon. $420 for the fronts? Porterfield R4S are $299 and have been proven for many years. I’ve run them on 7 different BMWs over 15 years and they’ve been flawless.
I guess some folks think the higher price blindly means better quality? |

Dust is definitely less and drier. BMW brake compound has always just been oily and really sticks to the wheels. These drier compound pads don’t tend to cake up on the wheels the same way. I’ve also used EBC Reds in the past and have had similar results. |

AP2478 and AP1850 are the correct SKUs? I'll definitely consider them for next time if they're truly competitive with the 1500s/EBC Reds for noise/dust amount. |

Proven… I don’t see anything about them before 2022. I’ve been using R4S’s since my 2000 Alpine White M coupe. Wish I had kept that car. But I digress.

Do the G8x cars stop differently than the Fx cars? Brake by wire of course, but that doesn’t matter to the brake pads. People getting caught up in promotion on these boards and spending too much for the same or less is what I see TBH. Same with the yellow DRLs and so much of the CF stuff.

I think it's pretty obvious that you'd want to try and have people give a real-world review/confirmation that a pad is good for a car before you start recommending it to people on a critical component such as brakes...but...I guess you do you. |
