Yellowstuff R is however a mild upgrade performance wise, but they produce slightly more dust than stock pads. |

If you really need an upgraded pad for your car then get some of these ;
http://www.ferodoracing.com/products...e-pads/ds2500/ You will be able to stop like never before while also shortening the life of your rota's. However, assuming these are available for the 1 Series you will not be disappointed. I do however question why you need an upgrade. As there is a person on this forum with a 116i on standard disks and pads. He does regular track days and says the standard items hold up really well. Just something to think about! I have the M Performance brakes on my car. They took a pounding round the Nurburg ring and stood up really well. So it's not something I would put at the top of my upgrade list. I hope this helps. |

If your pad material is currently papier mache, that's a great idea.
Otherwise run as fast as you can away from Greenstuffs. I have never, ever had such a dangerous, poor performing pad that actually disintegrated within 10,000km as with Greenstuffs. BMW OEM pads are more than fine for fast road and a few laps of your local circuit, with Ferodo DS2500 being the first step up from there. I don't find them that harsh on Rotors - at least on my Clio and on previous Subarus.

My main problem with stock pads, Greenstuff and DS2500, is that when they get really warm (as in after a day on the track), they go soft and slippery. That means several days with low brake pedal before that outer layer wears off. If you want real brake performance, go with pads from Performance Friction or Hawk. The racing pads give more bite, and a lot more resistance to fading. The downside is the metallic dust that burns into the paint on the wheels, and perhaps some squealing. |

With the standard pads from factory av noticed after few hours of driving round the odd few blast the brakes squeak an if more pressure is added the peddle feels like it ain't going to stop that's why am changing them to something which can take abit of beating up
