Hi guys, I’m here today for an update on our 2005 BMW Z4 3.0. The car currently has 37,000 miles on it and the brake pad light came on the other day. Thinking that it was a great time to upgrade with some aftermarket stuff, I hit the forums in search of some cool products.

The result? I ended up forking out uber dinero for genuine BMW rotors, sensors, and brake pads. Why? It’s a daily freeway driver, and it’s better to be safe than take a chance on some unknown company aftermarket products. You can see the new system in the picture below. Sorry for the dirty rim…

I’m sure you guys know how to bed or break in a new system but here are some quick steps for those who don’t know:

Step 1: Go to a smooth, flat road with no traffic.

Step 2: Accelerate to 30mph.

Step 3: Firmly step on the brakes and allow the vehicle to stop. DO NOT allow the brakes to lock.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed about 20 stops. Allow cooling periods between stops to bed the brakes properly.

Stay tuned for more updates!
