I'm leaning towards OEM rotors... I'm not concern about the rust or brake dust. However braking power is very essential to me.

Got almost 74k miles on X5 and still original rotors and pads so longevity isn't a question.

Thank you for everyone's input!
Save your money. Just installed Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads through fcp euro @430$ all the way around. Braking feels the same or better than oem. Ive been using zims on every BMW I've owned with no issues. The Texar pads are very good too. The diy on this is not difficult, just time consuming.
