I like the Axxis Deluxe/Akebonos ceramic linear feel much better than the overly aggressive initial bite of the OE pads.

I understand not liking the bite profile of the stock BMW pads. But I don't understand how people don't even notice the soggy feel of the Akebonos. I've tested the Akebonos in multiple cars. Sliding calipers, fixed Brembo calipers... They sucked everywhere.
I get not caring. I don't understand not noticing. Maybe I have too much race track time, and too much time in cars with brakes that don't suck? (Because let's be honest - all variants of stock E53 X5 brakes suck.)
