Just check the part number for the brakes on the M235 and M240... if they are the same.. then they use the same pads

Google search?
Amazon, ebay...

Prices change every day, just search the part numbers off the spreadsheet.

They are loud, but they perform as advertised. I have not heard of a quiet race/track pad myself.

Project Mu999 - Best track/race pad I've ever had. No noise either. This was on a S2000 though. About 1000lbs less than the m235

I think they do BMW stuff now. I'm going to give them a shot later.

Wonder if they are louder than the Pagid pads.

Would love to hear your experience with them on a BMW.

Installed a customer supplied set on a Lexus IS-F, just as loud as any other race pad on a BMW, but not back to back comparisons though.

I'm sure they are loud, but for some reason on the s2000's there were not loud at all. Many of us used them as a daily pad.

I can only assume it has to do with the weight difference of the cars.

And how the pad is retained within the caliper, rotor design and etc.

Threw some Hawk Street/Race on my m235i two weeks ago. Did about 250miles of lapping on them last weekend, including about 8 20minute sessions...

For hybrid street and race pads I was very impressed. They do squeak at low speeds especially when hot.

We'll see how durable they are...

Would you run the PFCs on the street? I had an Evo and Ran Hawk HT-10s on the Street and it was great. Did not require much heating and grabbed so much better than the stock Brembo pads.

One of the trusted vendors recommended the Ferodo DS2500 for an aggressive street pad. The same vendor recommended the Porterfield RS4 for my X3 and it was a vast difference from the unstoppable stock pads.

My point here is - if I'm used to having an aggressive pad on the street - are the PFCs overkill?

I haven't had a good experience with the EBCs in the past. A lot of fade and wear unevenly.

you will want to run them on the street, but after a week you will change them.

They are way too loud. like 4x louder than a bus or garbage truck with a metal grinding noise as well.
