Here are the part numbers and amazon links.. total cost little over $100 for both

Front: Power Stop Z23-1648 Z23 Evolution Sport Carbon Fiber Infused Ceramic Brake Pad (F10 M5 pads)

Rear: Akebono EUR919 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set

Thank you. Ordering the Akebono soon. Any issues / worries with getting the F10 M5 pads? I realize they're a slightly different size from the F85 pads, even though I seem some others have run these same pads on their M's. No grinding the pad down or anything? Amazon says those won't fit the X5 platform, but I feel like that's because it doesn't allow you to select the M as a sub-model.

From Powerstop on Monday re: X5M front pad availability.

"I will get with you tomorrow morning on the ETA on the Z23 series brake pads. We just started stocking the Z16 series brake pad so we should be seeing the Z23 series."

Still waiting on the ETA.
Any updates from Powerstop?
