I just bought 4 new pads for my 03 mini S from way motor works. I got the OEM with brake sensors.

I do NOT want to glaze these over and get squeals or problems. What should I do to properly bed in these pads? I'll be putting them on myself this weekend.

I have heard so many different ways for different pads. But these are the OEM pads. I like the bite and feels of oem the best.

I drive 100-150 miles a week

 

Start by cruising at 35 mph and brake moderately to a stop. Repeat this process 3-4 times with a few minutes in between. By now, things are really warming up. Turn up the heat even more by increasing the speed to 45 mph and braking to 10 mph. It’s important to avoid coming to a complete stop during this stage as it’s possible to melt brake pads against hot rotors. Of course, should a deer, pedestrian or Sasquatch run onto the road, feel free to mash the brake pedal. After your stop-and-go session is complete, park the car and allow the brakes to fully cool for an hour or two. Now your car is ready for careful driving.
While it seems like borderline paranoia is needed to complete the bed-in, one funky stop isn’t going to ruin your efforts, so there’s no need to stress out. Just drive safely and avoid emergency stops if at all possible. Once through approximately 100 miles of driving in oven-hot braking conditions, most pads have fully cured.
