Greetings,
My X6 40d necessitates the replacement of discs and pads on all sides. I was contemplating Borg Beck, Pagid, and Brembo. Exclusively as a trade-off between expense and efficacy. Does anyone have any thoughts on these or other options?
Additionally, since my vehicle is from 2015, it lacks Apple CarPlay. I am examining a retrofit box, and another forum participant recommended a Droiduk. Are there alternative choices?

I appreciate it.

Among them, I would choose Pagid, as Borg and Beck have significantly deteriorated from their former quality; I seem to remember that they are now produced with inferior materials in India. Brembo no longer operates as an independent entity; their products are now manufactured under a licensing agreement.
Have you contemplated ATE or Textar?

Bavarian additionally provides MMI and Android displays.

Borg and Beck are now the primary option. Brembo has declined in quality compared to their previous standards.

Ferrodo is currently our preferred option and has been for several years.

I have utilised Pagid several times lately on both my vehicle and my wife's, and I have encountered no problems. Feasible substitute for 'brands' ...
