2.0 engine should be lighter than the i6 so better for acceleration comparatively.

just 1 year has mileage 73688KM? Maybe a typo....7368KM is more reasonable, otherwise it should be a HK - China cross boarder car.

Please let me know your comments on the EBC Redstuff Ceramic brake pad. I am think to change mine. My critical considerations are less dust than stock brake and no/less squeaking sound.

Other bros, please also let me know what you are/were using and your comments. Also welcome ex-e60 owner's comments


thanks all.

I am using Brembo now. Not much noise but break dust is somewhat a lot. But honestly unless you have a M5 and drive like a pro racer, normal street pad should be more than enough.

RC3, no it won't, the spark enhanced coils can easily be replaced with your original coils, plug and play only, like Sprint Booster
