Just replaced the front pads and sensors at 28,000 miles on my X5 D M sport as the OBC said 150 miles to go . I had a quote from a main dealer £ 286.00 inc vat so looked on line and spoke to a few well known parts suppliers who recommended Pagid , not the cheapest but supposedly as good as the original BMW supplied. Total cost inc fitting by local garage £ 125 inc vat. I ve only driven 50 miles since fitting but cant help feel they dont bite as fast as original . The rear pads show 15000 miles to go on the OBC service info.
Is that possible or do they need to bed in ? Anyone know ? What are Pagid pads like ???

All pads once replaced take time to bed in properly. Give it about 200 miles and they should be better than OE. Pagid are very good.
