Used CarboTech from the States. The front rotors are 348mm x 30mm, no one carries the front pads yet as the blanks are not available (D1294 - Galfer 5007) so you have to have a used front set or buy another new set from BMW (or ship them your front set) and ship them to CarboTech and they will place there ceramic compound onto the backing plate.

The rears are available (D919) so there is no problem getting them from CarboTech.

I asked CarboTech to go to a BMW dealer, buy a set of front pads, strip the BMW compound off and place there ceramic compound on, which they did. Took 10 days all up and i had them hear in Australia
