break pad m3 original or upgrade?

[dan101smith]

No idea which M3 you have but Pagid pads are good - RS29s in particular, although Ferrodo DS2500s also have a good reputation.

Be helpful to know which M3 and what you use it for.

For normal use I would stick to factory.
Unless you really give it hell on the road or track it standard should be fine.
If you buy better pads these can often out shine the discs causing warping. Tedious.

And squeel like a stuck piggy.

I have a set of brand new original pads and sensor still in box if you want to make me an offer?

Performance Friction pads all the way mate - ideal for road use and can even cope with some track day work to. For a few extra ££ why not get some braided hoses along with a fluid change to 5.1 - well sorted

They are all boxed up with the seal still on them i paid £94.40 inc vat for them and £14.01 for the sensor which is always advised to change at the same time think about £70 for both.

Seriously, you can buy improved 3rd party pads such as Performance Friction for around the £55-£60 and save yourself some dosh.
