Best brake Pads
Re: Best brake Pads
I've got ferodo pads and discs on mine and they dont seem to be any problems at all .... when i bought the x5 it had cheap pads on the front and they made a terrible racket
i honestly dont think there is a huge amount between good brands as long as they're e90 spec

Re: Best brake Pads
Standard fit are Pagid or Textar, but plenty of alternatives. If happy with Ferodo then stick with them ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/original.gif)
I think my E53 had one make for discs and the other for pads.

Unfortunately I don't know what's on mine, I say that because they've done 20k, less than half worn and still no lip on the discs and I'm well happy with that. Very low amount of brake dust.

Re: Best brake Pads
I have Pagid on mine. Have used them many times and if you dig deep you will find they are OE for many manufacturers including BMW .
