Re: Front Discs and Pads...Any views on these?
Same situation for me.
A bit of a google suggested that these are a bit poo.
In the end- i got a set of Brembo Pads and discs for £215 off ebay

If you are only changing the pads and sensor, then Pagid or Textar on Eurocarparts are the OEM. There's a code at present too: HOT30 for brakes.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

I have not tried EBC pads yet but some mates who do drifting have and they love them. They also have good writeup in yank car mags. My E70 has brand new BMW pads (what a black mess they make of the wheels after one day on the autobahn) so I'll wear them down a bit then try EBC Yellow Stuff pads (yes that is their name).
EBC is British so God save the queen and all, non?
