can you gather the part numbers and where you found them, etc?
Will a 228i with M-sport brakes work on a m235?

I think these are another option too... 1609 and 1656 are the pad sizes on the F80 which are the same as the 2
http://www.ctbrakes.com/pads.asp?Make=BMW&Model=M3 http://www.ctbrakes.com/brake-compounds2.asp BMW Year Compounds M3 2014-2015 1521 AX6 XP8 XP10 XP12 XP20 XP24 RP2 F80 Chassis - w/Iron Discs* F: CT1609A $251 $264 $277 $291 $305 $336 $357 $320 F80 Chassis - w/Iron Discs* R: CT1656 $234 $250 $265 $279 $293 $323 $342 $307 Maybe the sheet could be uploaded to googledocs so it can be downloaded... Also might be useful to sort the pads by use case so all the similar pads are together on the list... and adding a price range might be helpful too to have an idea of what would be the total damage |

spreadsheet now on google docs, please see if you can access.
Everyone should be able to view and edit. I also purchased the PFC08's through my contacts, should be available in 2 weeks and will fit Msport brakes (i was told). I will update with part numbers once I have them.

No experience in this car, yet. But I can vouch on the PFC-08 pad, as being a great endurance pad, with a great operating range, and ability to swap back to factory pads without the need to swap rotors.
I ran the PFC-08's on 370mm 4 pot TT-RS Brembo fronts combined with Carbotech XP-10's on the rear and it was the best road track setup I've ever used. I plan to do the same or similar on the M235i if not the Pagid's or Race Technologies LLC RE10's. All great pads, just some dialing in to be done when it comes to vehicle weight and distribution. For example, on the TT-RS setup, I had the 370mm rotor up front and RS6 335mm rear rotors. This rear rotor upgrade allowed me to run a pad with more initial "bite" to balance the "nose dive" effect from having a heavy duty brake system up front. If I ran the PFC-08's all around, I would probably run into the nose-dive effect again, as the front will absorb most of the inertia and take the grunt of the brake load. With a more aggressive pad in the rear, it moves the bias slightly rearward and helps alleviate that issue. Hope that makes sense? The only $.02 I can apply at the moment, lol

I usually run a less aggressive pad in the back for RWD. I didn't do that with the 235i though. Pagid on all 4 felt great.

I'm gonna throw my hat in for the EBC Yellowstuffs.
They are very respectable HPDE pads and are completely tolerable on the street (some low speed low pressure breaking in stop and go has a little squeal) once they are properly bedded. Yes, PCF-08's or Carbotechs or Porterfields are better race pads, absolutely, but they cannot be driven on the street. These can be (quite comfortably). And they will stand up to some seriously heavy abuse on track with the right brake fluid (I run Torque RT700, but any high temp fluid will do -- ATE, Gastrol, Endless, etc.). Also, they aren't terribly expensive. Highly recommend.

Will dust heavily after hard breaking. The red stuff (ceramic) keep my wheels much cleaner. |

Agreed on the squeal and dusting. Personally I don't care about brake dust (badge of honor for using "good" brake pads), but I totally understand those who want super clean wheels. However, the first thing you normally have to give up for "good" brake pads is the dusting unless you get carbon ceramic pads/rotors.

I use wheel wax between wheel cleanings
http://www.autogeek.net/wheelwax.html I ran the stock OEM sports, and the EBC yellows so far on a far amount of HDPE's last year. About 20,000 street miles plus 6 days on each set... not bad. I like the EBC yellows and would use them again. They work great on the street. A little bit more initial bite than needed for regular daily driving/stop-n-go, but it's bearable. Some slight noise. But they stop good combined with ATE 200. |
