mintex or OEM
 

Should I use the red box mintex or OEM pads for my upcoming brake job?

Without a doubt, Mintex!!! 3 good reasons why.

1. 90% less brake dust
2. stopping performance just as good as OEM
3. 50% longer life. (I got 25K miles out of the OEM and 50K miles from Mintex)

I currently have the Axxis Deluxe and I think I like them even better than the Mintex. Mainly because there's even less brake dust.

thanks!
 

So the mintex should have no negative effects on Brembo rotors? I have seen some peopel with warping issues when using axxis or mintex pads. Thanks for your help!

I've used both OEM rotors and Brembo rotors with no issues whatsoever. My current setup is Brembo rotors and Axxis Deluxe pads.

when you go in for service, can you have bmw change them to the mintex?

3. 50% longer life. (I got 25K miles out of the OEM and 50K miles from Mintex)

you mean 100%:)

:thumbup: I meant to say twice the life ;)

Anything but OEM. I am cleaning my wheels every goddamn day with these OEM pads!:banghead:

:iagree: I'm not going to wait for the OEM pads to wear down. I want to change them ASAP!

How long does the oem pad usually last for? I have 33466miles on it and havent done any brake work to it except adjusting the handbrake.
