Took me all of 2 weeks to go with Powerstops for the street on the M2. Quicker than previous BMWs, but same solution everytime. OEM pads are effective, but filthy
I didn't quiz everyone on brake pad choice.

I can tell you that my 1M is on stock pads.


There are zillions of variables ..

What was consistent here was

- cars clean prior to trip
- cars traveled the same distance
- cars traveled the same route
- cars traveled at the same speeds
- all " measurement " occurred on the same date and time



The cars that had to drive the fastest are the lead car ( setting the pace ) and the cars at the end of the train ( tail gunner and anyone falling behind).

The Two M2 were in the middle of the pack.
