Turner Motorsport does not usually sell the OE or OEM type brake pads. The typical TMS customer is looking for better-than-stock braking performance. But there are some cases where the stock pads actually perform pretty well. Or in some cases, our pad suppliers have not come out with an option for a newer model yet and the OEM pad is the only current option. For these customers, we offer Genuine BMW pads or pads from Original Equipment Manufacturers like Ate, Textar, Pagid, and others.

These pads were originally equipped on the E46 M3 models. Owners of the E46 M3 will know that the stock pads are already quite 'aggressive' from the factory with a lot of initial bite. The initial bite was built into the pad to stop criticism of BMW's lack of performance brakes. Instead of building the M models with exotic - and expensive - multi-piston calipers, BMW engineers turned up the braking power in their pads. For the street, these are excellent brake pads with excellent feel and performance. The only downside is the dust that comes from an organic pad.
Although these pads were originally designed for the E46 M3, they fit other cars as well, making them a great first-step upgrade for better braking.
