NEW BRAKES, x5m f85 2015, front pads with sensor, 100km already, NO SQUEEK, not OEM

will update after about 400km or so, that is about one week from now, i am in ottawa so the weather is pretty crappy, these are NOT oem bmw part, i will save the details after i can confirm i have no sqeek, last thing i want to do is get people all worked up and ordering stuff that actually doesn't work.

duss brothers did the install this morning, there was no fitment issue. i did research the brakes and came across a vendor in USA, ran the part numbers adn stuff with them and had no issue in installing them.

more to come, the weather is crap here below zero with salt and snow,

did only pads, and sensor as rotors had tons of meat.

gd


UPDATES:
200km no squeak, various braking from 100km to about 30, very strong pedal bite as you engage the pedal further, feels like that eye popping braking and clamping that my M3 has too in dry.
more to come

What i will do is report back on km, any noises and as well if there were any issues with wet stopping or when dried off etc. i will try to give as much feedback as i can, if i can edit this post i will just keep editing it every few days. You don't understand the bullshit i went through to get parts in canada, these cost me about 200 cdn dollars plus shipping so it was 280.00 after HST and shipping.

UPDATES 3000KM:

No issues, no noise or squeeking. hawk hb835z front pads.

FINAL UPDATE: AUGUST 2019

ZERO ISSUES WITH NOISE, the pads are soft though so it does feel like you have to press harder in cooler weather just an fyi.
