Hi,
I have been using Ceramic Brake Pads on my BMW 530i. Alhamdullilah.
It has been giving me good performance.
Good grip
I had to apply emergency braking a few times but the brakes did not fail me, and always stopped car in good time and space. Some friends have suggested that they are not as grippy as OEM brake pads, but I am happy after 50,000km I have used them.
Brake Pad Dust
My biggest pet peeve has been extreme levels of brake pad dust, that high performance Germany cars throw, leaving a very bad trail on the wheels and lower body panels. Ceramics have very little, if any brake pad dust.
Cost
My ceramic brake pads cost me equal or slightly under the cost of OEM BMW brake pads. I have found no reason to go back to OEM every since I got ceramic brake pads.
And did I mention that I found them to last longer than OEM brakes with similar driving and braking style.
