The oem pagid pads are not “cheap” as in poor quality, it’s just they way they perform on iron rotors, especially since the rotors are cross drilled and not slotted. I’ve had street pagids on other cars and they’re all pretty dusty, but they do bite and can handle a fair amount of heat. The pagids are an aggressive street/light auto cross duty pad. Bmw probably put them on because the car is fast for what it is. Anyone ever run hawk hp+ pads :-)
