Best braking performance option for f86?

Brembo BBK 1Q2.9609A2 front and brembo 2P2.9010A2 rear
Or front CCB rotors and pads from RK autowerks and rear oem?

No one? Anyway as per my research, here is all the options:

1. Rk autowerks Ccb rotors and pads with oem caliper front and oem for back
2. Brembo BBK GT
3. Oem CCB brakes from m6 for the front and oem ccb brakes from m4 for the back (yeah, they will fit)

I'm inclined to an option 3.

Why are you considering this? Is it for cosmetic reasons? Are you mercilessly thrashing your SUV on a track or autobahn and finding the OEM brakes inadequate?

OEM are OK. My mistake was that I installed custom brake pads carbon ceramic (by Hawk for front - those actually start squealing after 6 month of use and didn't remove dust at all)

.. to reduce noise and dust for sure, but also improve performance a little. All that went good enough, but not at the end - front pads start eating my rotors, because of the aggressive driving and overheating. Finally, because of that ABS error occurred and brake pedal fall down without any back pressure and actual braking.

Back rotors and pads still good, no dust or noise - they from Power stop Z26.

Front rotors glazed and I got some experience - if you driving fast, don't apply custom pads only and change whole brakes, if you need better preformance...

I mean, if this happen to anyone you have couple options: really better braking system, lighter car like m4 or buy tesla with autopilot and piano music.

After checking prices on oem ccb brakes, in my opinion option 1 will be the best

There are OEM "race" pads that BMW makes and sells in Europe. I don't think they are available at US dealers. I have a set in my basement... I never did track my X6M.

"...to reduce noise and dust for sure, but also improve performance a little..."
I don't think those things generally go together. If you want increased performance, you are probably going to have more noise and more dust. Brake compounds are compromises. If there was an ideal "zero dust, zero noise, serious increase in performance*" compound, then BMW would probably already be using it.

*Cold Performance (street) is also a different compound than Hot Performance (track).

I'd suggest talking to Dave Zeckhausen. www.zeckhausen.com

I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.
