X5 Brake Pads
I've searched the forum and I can not find the answer.
Although the E70 and the F15 have the same brake calipers they have different pads. I believe the E70's pads are Textar, but they clearly are not the F15's. I replaced my F15 with Textars at the rear and ATE in the front and they dust up real bad compared to OE, no real difference in performance. Any idea who the OE brake pads mfg are? When I looked over the old oem bmw pads I thought I saw a small ATE faded symbol. I'm wondering if BMW uses ATE ceramic pads as the OE pads. I really don't want to have to pay the premium price for the BMW pads next time around... but I'd say it's worth it, if you get textar performance with out the dust. Hoping someone has the answer |

It can be Textar it can be ATE, both making pads for BMW, more depends on the market and year.FCP Euro offers both as alternative to OEM P/N 34116857096
