For that price, you could've get a whole set if MPBK, of course without the X5M rotor.
F15/F16 X5/X6 MPBK is the same system as the stock E70/E71 X5M/X6M brakes.
When I did mine at first, I bought a whole used set of E71 X5M freshly painted for less than MPBK price. |
Yes, essentially it makes sense to just get MPBK since you get a new set and bigger rear rotors too. For majority MPBK is a better option - because it's new and will be warranted by BMW if installed in dealership.
I only went with used calipers and F85 rotors to save some buck and get that drilled rotor looks. It's still cheaper for me - I got it all for $1600 (including drilled rotors) vs $2500 MPBK + drilled rotors on top of that = north of $3000
So I saved almost half the money. However, you are right - it required me to buy all components separately, that takes time and I have no warranty on them now - so there's pros and cons as always
