BMW OEM Pads

Does anyone know what material the OEM BMW pads are made from? Ceramic or Semi Metalic?

Thank you

Not sure of the formula. I do think they are a blend of Metallic, carbon and ceramic.

My feeling is: 5% metallic 5% carbon and ceramic and 90% compressed brake DUST!!!!! @#%!$#&!!

They are not ceramic, Carbon Kevlar based as I recall.

Organic, with carbon black mixed in, AFAIK. May have Kevlar mixed in, but the carbon black is the key ingredient, as that is what results in the characteristic black dust.
