Installed on a 2008 BMW 535i with Sports Package
PROS:
1) Bites super hard. Way harder than the OEM Jurid brake pads. This is exactly what I was looking for, so I rate it 5 stars. Installed with EBC's UPR series rotors.
CONS:
1) The packaging lists 300 mile break in period. It was not kidding. Be extra cautious driving and braking after installation. There's some kind of "break in" coating on the pads that cause this. I actually felt endangered.... As soon as it sets in, goodness gracious the bite is super nice.
2) Brake dust like none other. If you got flashy rims, expect to use some kind of wheel protection to keep them from being smothered with black brake dust.
3) At first they squealed. They've subdued a bit after 800 miles or so. Brake noise is practically unnoticeable now.
Great brake pads! Bought them to do a track day in my 3800lb 550i. I had the fancy ceramic pads on before and expected the ebc yellows to be toast after the nearly 90 minutes of straight full speed track use. They havent even worn to the bottom of the chamfer (80% left) great product. Consistant feel. Overheated the motul 600 before i could fade them.
I have these installed on my 530XI and living in GER i get an opportunity to use them a lot. Very happy with their performance. I would say they're better than stock, way less brake dust and when paired with their cross drilled and slotted rotors virtually fade free.
Fantastic pads. I own a 08 E92 M3 and the days of OEM warped rotors on the ocasssional track days are over with these babies.
No need to spend money on Brembos....
Quick shipping packaged well and the brakes are great they don't have quite the same bite as the oem BMW pads but stopping power is still great.

Description
The new EBC Yellowstuff compound is essentially a race pad but with a big difference in that it works from cold and can be safely used on the highway. If you want the ultimate in high friction braking this is the pad to choose. Brakes feel superb from first touch of the pedal and stay effective up to race temperatures. Maximum stopping is prime requirement and for short duration track use. Its dust rating is similar to OEM parts. All pads come with edge chamfers, center line slots, noise reduction shims and OEM hardware as needed. All EBC pads feature the EBC brake in surface coating which helps pads seat quickly after install.
