I saw those on tire rack. Not much available yet, I was looking at Akebono Euro ceramics and those worked great on my E90 335 but it seems they are not yet available for F30, hardly any brake dust and had the performance of OE.

Are these for 328 or 335?

Let us know how these work out for you.

Anyone else running aftermarket pads?

I'm running porterfield. I think my bias is off because I'm only running fronts. I'd recommend the street compound. The track compound is way overkill. Also, no backing plates, so there's a tad bit of vibration...i think that's the issue.

Its just a pad that SOUNDS much better than the OEM one.
I say sound becasue i havent put it on yet, but i have used stoptech pads (same manufacturer as centric) and they were amazing on my E90 328xi.

i feel the oem pads don't stop as well as it should so i wanted to try something else, ive been looking for replacements without spending couple thousands on BBKs.

Yea i have front and back.

There's quite a bit of mixed reviews on the net so just google them, i bought the semi metalic one because that seems to give better stopping power and i dont care about brake dust as long as i have stopping power lol
