2020 m550i xDrive Brakes and Rotors

Unotay18 · 03-23-2023, 07:55 PM

I just bought 2020 m550i xDrive and I want to replace the brakes/rotors. What are some good combinations for daily driving, that doesn’t produce a lot of dust, and have a good bite?

Do they need replacement or are you trying to upgrade? I found the stock setup to be pretty good overall on mine.

They back pads need to be replaced soon. I figured I’ll do them all at once. Also, the pads that I have right now produce a lot of dust.

Brembo HP 2000 are excellent, had them on my e92 35i & will definitely be fitting them to the G31 when the current pads need replacing.

How is the dust

Chappers 71 · 03-24-2023, 06:01 PM

They’re ceramic, so dust is minimal

I give a vote for EBC Reds. Low dust and more bite

What rotors are you using?

Would you happen to have links for the pads and rotors? If not I can do the research. And I assume you have the blue calipers

On the e92 I used ATE discs with the HP 2000’s.
I had previously run EBC RedStuff pads on the 35i but they ended up ruining the discs (rotors)

Do you have links handy? If not, I’ll do the research
