Rotors

[bimmertt]

First brake change is coming up for the X5 and I'm debating if I should replace the rotors and pads or just pads. Car has around 50k. What are you all doing for the first brake change?

I did ECS slotted and perforated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads ( stock rotors are known to have rust issues). Better look, no rust, no dust.

Exactly what I did on my Z4 a few years back - still love the combo and the dust reduction was STAGGERING. The loss of initial bite was worth it and now that I am used to it, I actually prefer it.

After pads got bedded I actually like new set up more, its a bit less aggressive but fits my driving style better.

I will need rotors and pads soon on my X5 M sport so this is good info. Where did you purchase the ECS rotors and pads? Thanks

Got rotors from ECS directly and pads from tirerack.com,best price I was able to find at the time.

BUY PADS AND ROTORS FROM FCPEURO. LIFETIME WEAR AND TEAR WARRANTY. Only pay for pads and rotors ONCE.

Just as much as you may believe in God.

Bump for FCPEuro

The dealer resurfaced mine and replaced just the pads. That’s also an option.

I just bought a set of power stop drilled slotted rotors with ceramic pads from a member on here. Got a awesome price for them.

What was the quote for that if you don’t mind me asking?
