I'm looking to get some new brake pads and have seen the Ferrodo DS2500 recommended a few times. After searching for them I can't find a set that fit the E89. Does anyone know the part number for them or have any other good recommendations?

I've also seen that EBC yellowstuff have a kit with hoses included that is mighty tempting.
 
I recently fitted the Ferodo DS Performance pads to my 30i they are one step below the DS2500. Compared to the standard pads they perform brilliantly.

I just found the following part numbers for the 35i on Autodoc (assuming you're after pads for the front):

DS Performance - FDS1628
DS2500 - FCP1628H

The price for the them on Autodoc are quite high in the end I bought them from Amazon for around 60 quid less.
 
I fitted the ds2500 to the fronts on my 35i last year. I still have the box in the garage so it should have the part number on it, I'll look later and put it on here. I also think they as about £175
 
Quick question please :
Just checked on Ferodo website, part number for E89 23i, only available pads "FERODO PREMIER ECO FRICTION" :cry:
There is no something (almost) "racing" like DS2500 available ? :cry:

Ferodo listing / catalogue on their website is not complete / very good. Likewise when I was looking for pads for my 30i I could only find listing for the E85. However if you go to Autodoc and stick your car details in and select Ferodo Racing it comes up with the correct parts and there you can see the Ferodo part numbers:

Just fitted EBC RedStuff all round to 35i, part ceramic, less dust and absolutely excellent stopping power.
