I had owned my 2006 X5 4.8is for all of about 1 day and realized the factory pads had to go. The OEM pads were virtually new, but the dust they left was typical BMW stuff!

I called Dave at Zechhausen and he recommended the Axis Deluxe pads. Dave was not only honest, but he really knows his products. He could have sold me more expensive pads, but he listened to my needs and then made his recommendations.

The pads were in my hands and on the car within days and all I can say is, what a difference. I feel no loss in bite vs. the OEM pads and it's sure nice to be back in a BMW and have such an easy install.

Hats off to Dave and I would recommend his company to all fellow X5 guys. Here's his website:
