Did you find any reputable places to have it done? Like you I refuse to pay over inflated prices with BMW

Definitely going to Indy for the brake job. I try stay away from the stealership for all maintenance/work except for oil changes. Not too much of a difference in price there, plus the loaner and car wash is a nice perk.
I'm trying trying to figure out if I want to just replace the rear pads and rotors OR go ahead and replace both axles with pads and drilled & slotted rotors.. trying to price out both options. Looks like Power Stop has been pretty reliable to guys on here. Maybe I could recoup some $ selling front pads and rotors that only have about 8K miles on them?

Found some good mentions for X5m Brembo brakes if you're going for ceramic.
Powerstop z23-1429 evolution sport pads Akebono EUR919 ultra premium ceramic pads I have a good history with HAWK pads myself, but haven't done the f15 yet. I'm doing brembo/m brakes next month. Hawk HPS - rear has front pads pictured on their site; which is confusing. Anyone sporting hawk pads? |

I was hoping these were going to be a good solution. Are there any pads for the X5m that don't squeak? My 35i rears have started to squeak in the morning (about 30% life left); and it's real annoying pulling out of the garage every morning.... Should I give up on thoughts of a squeal free life? |

Does anyone have a 50i with the PowerStop bake kit (drilled and slotted rotors)? I'm considering getting it this week. I'd like to see how noticeable to drilled/slotted look is since the rotors are not as big as the F85 rotors.
