Is it a "M Sport" or regular brake system?

Regular brake system. My local mechanic said he has options that are as good as BMW and would be $300 less.

I think "Zimmermann" for the front and rear brake discs/rotors (OEM alternative).

Front: $103 each

Rear: $160 each

If you're interested in the aftermarket high-performance pads/rotors upgrades for non M Sport brake system, check out "TAROX" from the UK.

I would inquire what he intends to use. There's so much garbage on the market from 3rd parties. Do your research or potentially suffer the consequences.

If you want to go ball then AP Racing; if you want good quality and no hastle plug and play thing that is good, then Zimmerman is great option (had them on my 4 - very good)

I'm looking for brake pads for my car with M sport brakes. main concern that it has very less dust and longlife. heard that ceramic is the way to go and I'd love if anyone know where to buy (online) high quality ceramic brake pads
