Based on the website they have a front pad for the F85 X5M. The Front PN is unique. Doesn't match the X5 5.0i or F10 M5 / F12 M6. Might be the same size as the stock front pad?

Front Only 16-1738
Rear Only 16-919B

Not available at the usual online vendors. Might be a new product. Hopefully more options to follow.

Does anyone know how the Z16/17 ceramic pads compare to the Z23 pads?
Called Powerstop. The front Z16 pad is a new PN. Expected to be available in the next 30-90 days. Z23 compound likely to follow.

The rep described the Z16 as a basic stock replacement pad. Similar performance, less dust.

She told me the Z23 had better braking performance and less dust than the Z16.
Interesting
