Yes, as metioned in my previous post I did 73,000klm on the ceramic pads and they were about a third worn down, the rotors were still in spec as well, I got the BMW dealer to do the roadworthy couple weeks back when I sold it.
I have attached 2 photos, the yellow caliper was my current M-Sport 35d that I had just sold, this had ceramic pads installed.
The second photo is on the front brake on the new X5 M50d, as you can see the caliper is nearly double the size. My new M50d shows up in the next couple of days, the calipers will be removed and painted, the new ceramic pads are being hand made and should arrive by the end of the week from the US.
