Ok guys I'm never on the 3 series board, But always on the Z3 board. So I need to change out my wife's Rotors and pads on her 2011 335i. She doesn't speed around like I do in my Mcoupe. But I want to put decent rotors and pads on for her.. I need suggestions on what to buy for her car....

Zimmerman or ATE rotors, Thanks
The more brakes I replace, the more I keep coming back to OEM pads. Zimmerman rotors are great, I've installed a couple sets, my friends love them on their e46s. Textar makes the BMW OEM pads, you can get them for half the cost of BMW branded ones.
The best brake parts are factory BMW brake parts
I found a Zimmerman brake set on FCP but it comes with BMW Brake Pad Set - Akebono. They say the pads are made here in the USA. Are these pads any good?
THREAD JACK-
What about for DD and a couple track days a year, still OEM?
I just put a set of Meyle rotors and Cool Carbon pads on the front of my 2010. Not sure where I got them - BavAuto or BimmerWorld probably.
My fronts lasted 122K miles, and actually had quite a bit of pad left, but starting to wear unevenly, causing some shudder.
OEM is the way to go.
