Ryan Ward thanks. I think they are great alternative. It’s a nice upgrade. The only downside I forgot to mention is that they produce more dust so wheels need to be cleaned but more often.
Hey ! Thank you very much for the video, I agree with the feel of the brake. Good brake, they are not fading away on track, but the initial bite is indeed too low + the feel of the pedal is bad... Anyway, I have one quick question : how do you deal with the sensor and the re-initialisation of the idrive warning ? Can you re-initialize the idrive warning about replacing the pads without changing the sensor ? Best wishes ! Cheers.
They are really good and definitely better than stock. One of them made a squeaking noise at very low speed for the first month but I heard it maybe 20 times in total so very rarely. Then it stopped completely after a month or so.
Hi, good review 👍. My personal usage is only road and never track. I'm thinking to upgrade for better than the currently installed Ebc yellowstuff. I brake not often but when I brake I need that it brakes hard. So based on my usage, I really need a strong bite especially when the brakes are still cold. Do you think that ds2500 would be suitable for me? Many thanks 👍
@@MDrives OK thank you for your answer 👍. I'm thinking about the situation where I'm driving in the highway without hitting the brakes for a long period of time. But, if for some reason, an emergency situation requires braking hard wheras the brakes are cold, that would be a problem.
@@Magic_Vince I'm in the process of fitting ds2500's to mine too...my brake guy was surprised they didn't come with those weights pre installed. They look to me like they are pressed on,so I don't think you can swap them over to new pads. He seems to think they were there for noise / harmonics reasons and didn't think it would be an issue. Likewise, I asked if the stainless brembo shims should be swapped over but he didn't think so...they look to be adhered to the oem pads, in addition to the backing the new ones have.
It seems the ferodos are the popular choice for pads, think mine will be due soon been on 30k miles. Good informative video 👍

@@MDrives A small price to pay for better breaking haha!
@@MDrives If you take the wheels off, clean both sides fully and either use a good polish or even ceramic coating it really helps too.
Great video mate! going to this on mine
Thanks
👍 I put EBC Red stuff on my M135i, very happy with them .
I was thinking about ebc but after trying Ferodo it was no brainer
great vid. life saver
Glad it helped! Regards 👋

Yes you can simply reset it in your idrive.
@@MDrives thanks a lot !
How did you update I drive the new brakes
Just search it on TH-cam. You can reset it yourself.
Watched the video again ❤️ as I’m looking for replacement pads for my 140, what’s your opinion of them now and also do they make a noise when cold.
They are really good and definitely better than stock. One of them made a squeaking noise at very low speed for the first month but I heard it maybe 20 times in total so very rarely. Then it stopped completely after a month or so.
My breaks are really good on stock pads and feeling. I do think the wear on the pads were somthing to do with the feel!
Depending which car you’re coming from.
Nice vid brilliant car! Thumbs up and subscribed :)
The pins go out from the front... Punch from the back. You made it much much harder for yourself. Tip for others watching.
No they don't. This is false information.
In correct Yey only knock through one way, front to back
Do you remember what size of punch is required?
Hi. Have a look at your caliper.

Ds2500 have great bite but might not be the best for the first few minutes.

Do you not have to swop over pad weights from old pads
andrew branford No. They work absolutely fine without them. Most of the cars don’t use pad weights.
but you could swop them over to the Ferodo pad?
