I believe there is an updated BMW OEM pad for the standard caliper, has anyone used it or can give any feedback?

I can personally vouch for these as it's what I'm currently running in my Cecil and it's what he came with when I bought him back in '09 :smokin:
They'll be OK for an occasional Track Day too :thumbs: just don't expect them to last the whole day @ Bedford Autodrome :whistle:

I think the OEM BMW race pad is a Pagid and the cost was very high.
Go for something aftermarket like the Performance Friction, or Mintex, or Pagid etc.

I bought Pagid RS29 via trackm3 on here. Great pad on standard calipers/discs.
Upgrade the brake fluid and hoses too.
