Hello, this is the first BMW I ever had. 2005 325xi. When I get ready for a brake job, what should I use BMW parts or is there better. Thanks for the help. Dave

BMW does not make a lot of "BMW" parts, they are made for them by various suppliers, having said that there are many brake pad choices you need to decide what is most important to you, low brake dust, superior stopping power, long lasting, quiet, etc. And what is your driving style, are you a hard breaker, do you ride the brakes, do you use gears to reduce speed when you can, all this makes a difference. Look at the various suppliers on some of our sponsors web sites, like Arizona AutoHaus. There are others as well, Pelican Parts, Bav Auto, BMP Design, and more.

I went with Axxis Deluxe Organic pads; good braking, very low dusting, non-squealing. If you replace rotors just make sure you purchase rotors that have an anodized coating covering the rotor except for the faces - keeps rust at bay. If you purchase the all steel with no anodized coating, "crap-city" in 3 weeks time.
