Good luck coupon hunting Beavis.
Maybe mom will give you some extra lunch money.

Thanks for your interest.

Not so "Care free" after all, I guess. LMAO

Carefree huh... If that was true, just look at how many times you tried to piss on someone's parade here in this thread alone + other threads. The bread crumb trail you've left shows you're anything but Care free. Not sure who kicked your dog this morning & pissed in your Cheerios. But it wasn't me, so feel free to go fly a kite, kick rocks & punch sand with that... ( I'm "care free" mindset ) you claim to have. LMAO

Back on topic fellas. I have the iSweep 2000 pads & they're phenomenal to have on a proper M-car. Even the heavier M5 & X5M owners have positive feedback on them.

Wasn’t directed at you but if the shoe fits…….
I’m here for the laughs and you’re a funny guy. 🤡

For the record I am care free. Happy, wealthy, and wise.
Lighten up Biff.
It’s healthy.

This reminded me of this scene 🤣

The pads will bed themselves after a few hundred miles of normal driving. A lot of ceramic and NAO pads explicitly tell you to not bed them now also. I'm not sure it's blanket good advice and I would just follow the pad mfg recommendations.

I am trying to decide between the 1500 and the 2000, and phenomenal is what I am looking for. LOL. So, could you share your typical driving? Surface streets and canyons? Do you track the car?

For the 2000s, how’s the initial bite? More, less, same as stock?
How’s dust compared to stock? Less, I know, how much less?

[M2-Bob]

I am not happy with the initial bite of my 1500s. I am thinking about trying the 2000s

This is an interesting data point.

They are supposed to be equivalent to stock pads in terms of bite. That's what their marketing materials say and what people are reporting.

Are you saying it bites less than stock?

Shows how different opinions can be. I am MORE than happy with the performance of the 1500's. Only street and canyon use so far, but have been in a few full brake emergency scenarios with excellent performance.

Also, I CONTINUE to be absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the lack of brake dust. There is such minimal dust that I can't even tell if it is from the pads or just general dust from driving on the road. ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING, especially if you are one that is suffering with a complex wheel design to clean, or a matte/flat finish that is hard to wipe clean like a gloss wheel is

Yes, I used to be able to trigger the ABS easily with the OEM pads. These pads require more force to get the same bit. I found switching the brakes to sport mode helped, but still less bite.

As for the brake dust, there is almost none.

Bite is very important to me. Maybe not others, but it can really ruin the experience going from stock bit to less bite. I’ve experienced this twice on 2 different cars with aftermarket pads and both times I was incredibly disappointed.
We really need a deep-dive test done on the 1500s vs 2000s on bite, specifically.

Dust tends to scale with initial bite. Anyone who says that low dust pads will bite like OEM pads when cold are either lying or confused. There's no free lunch. There's a reason why the OEM pads and almost all ECE R90 compliant brake pads are going to be dusty on this car.

That said, I personally think BMW brakes are annoyingly touchy stock and some loss of bite could be welcome at times.

[BimmerFix]

If you want OEM bite or better get the i2000’s

The 1500’s have the least amount of dust . Give similar performance to stock, but some folk do report less initial bite.

YMMV

No first hand experience .. just based off research & conversation with others

[BroDoze]

I love that stock touchiness.

As you continue to contradict yourself in this post & others, make like a tree & leave the petty side commentary to yourself. A clown is a much more fitting screen name for ya. You've rightfully earned it. Tell the world whatever helps you sleep at night. Since you're so care free & a baller that drive two 2 series coupes. You must be rolling in it.


Yes fellas, the iSweep 2000 pads have substantially more initial bite compared to the 1500 pads. I often drive aggressively on the street with the occasional cannon carving runs & moderate track days with excellent results. The only tradeoff is a touch more dust & it's well worth the increase in break torque when things get pretty hot.

So you’re saying the 2000s have MORE initial bite than stock? How do you know they have more bite than the 2000s? Have you owned / tried both?

[MineralGreyMetallic]

I've been reading around other forums and the consensus seems to be something like

Little to NO DUST (90-95% LESS DUST) + 90% bite of OEM = IS1500
Reduced dust (70-80% LESS DUST) + same bite as OEM = IS2000

Also reading you should not track either of these pads as they "glaze" quickly.

I'm not installing my iSweep Pads until my new wheels come, so I think I'm going to swap the 1500's I have waiting for some 2000's. I really desire the initial bite of the stock pads.
