Brake Pad Replacement
Good Day All,
The front pads on my wife's 2016 X1 28i MSport are down to 20% and will require replacement soon. I have read that these are short lived and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with a brand other than OEM that lasts longer. In Canada we have GermanAuto Parts and they have Zimmerman (Metallic w/ M Sport Brakes), Akebono (Ceramic), Bosch (Ceramic), Textar (Metallic - w/ M Sport Brakes). Only the Zimmerman and the Textar state they are for vehicles with M Sport Brakes. Assume this is what I need as the car has the M Sport Option with M Sport Suspension. I havn't pull the calipers to look but the M Sport Pads look totally different (rectangular) than the typical non M Sport pad (triangular). Other resellers may carry other brands, unsure if the M Sport Brakes are available in Ceramic or if this is something I should consider for general use. I use Textar on my 2005 330Ci and I like them. Having said that the 330 doesn't have the premature wear problem the X1 AWD has. |

Yes, accelerated brake wear it's a known problem. The X1 DSC is very sensitive and constantly brakes the wheels to improve driving characteristics. So they last between 17k and 25k km, depending on driving style, roads, etc. The X1 F48 didn't have real M-sport brakes until recent years (LCI model), when some markets could add it extra when buying it. I also have a late 2016 X1 2.0i M-sport with 'regular' brakes. When it was time to replace them, I looked for some more 'punch' when braking, so I chose EBC Brakes (slotted rotors + yellow-stuff pads) and SS brake lines. I can't talk about wear since I only have 4k km with them, but they work great. They provided that extra punch when breaking that I was looking for. You can also search the forum for more information and recommendations as well. I read that some use Akebono with great results too.

You can do the upgrade as well; it's plug&play for any X1 F48 with at least 18" wheels, but it's expensive. You can get more info here: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1733816 And you can check the parts to do the upgrade here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=34_2781

As a side note, if your X1 has some years (like mine), I would check the master cylinder. It tends to lose strength/pressure with the years.
