Replacement brake options

[mjimport]

I tried searching but didn't see anything to answer my question.

what have you all used as replacement for rotors and pads?
i usually like to go with OEM parts, but it looks like OEM is almost triple of what I could spend with other options.
would love to hear your favorite brands that don't cost over $100 per rotor!
thanks

edit: I am asking specifically for my 1988 735i automatic, but assume there's not much difference in quality of brands between 750, 735, 740, etc.

Updated model specs, thanks!

ATE are not that expensive in the online shops.

I'm using Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors. I have no issues with them. Dusting isn't too bad either.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up going through AutohausAZ, and got rotors, pads and some other misc. items for a fair price, with free shipping! I have used them many times before and "usually" have good results.

Edit: forgot to mention I ended up getting Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads, will try to post results and feedback once installed.

Isn't that the concept Z4? Not here yet?

Well I hope you get your dream car. If you wait, I read in 2018 there will be a new Z4 released for the 2020 year. Around 20 years ago I owned this Z3 for 11 months. It was just a four banger, but I'll never forget it. Bought it on a whim, had some surgery and could not get in and out of the thing without being in pain. Sold it to a neighbor for exactly what I paid for it. I loved it.

Thanks,
and I will wait and see what 2020 brings.
I also previously owned a 1996 Z3 Roadster (5 Speed) E36/7 2004-2007
Mine was silver, but I definitely would have preferred the color you had!
