Hey guys I’ve got some EBC Red Stuff front and rear pads on the way and was wondering if any of you have experience with them. The stock pads on my M340 are extremely dusty and don’t provide good breaking force, especially for a heavy car with this amount of power. I’m hoping the EBC will solve at least the braking force issue.
As per the rotors, if the dust continues I am considering getting slotted rotors, does anyone have these on their M340? Thanks, the car is great overall but the brakes really leave a lot to be desired. My Dad’s Jeep SRT has a lot more braking force than my M340. Thanks and have a good day.
This seems surprising. While I don’t have a M340i, all BMWs I’ve had in the past have always had great brakes and I’d be suspicious if yours doesn’t. This does come with the complaint about brake dust, but unless you go ceramic won’t improve much with different pads though some might be a tad dustier than others.
Slotted rotors only help mitigate gas build up under constant heavy braking such as on a track, they won’t help with dust during regular driving.
Thanks for the info about the rotors. Yeah I have had a suspicion it’s due to the amount of brake dust. I’ve never had a vehicle accumulate brake dust as bad as this car has. The pads I have on order are Ceramic-Granule so I do hope it eliminates some brake dust!
