Congrats. Brakes on BMW's are very easy and saves a ton of money.
I usually get the kit from brakeoverstock.com for ~$320 that includes front + rear rotors, pads, and sensors. They are a super cheap rotor but I've used them on 10+ vehicles and while not as good as Zimmerman, Brembo, etc... I've also never had an issue with safety, noise, short life, etc in daily driving situations. Brakeoverstock - Products - 2006 BMW X5 4.8iS I'm sure some here would advise against this "brand" (Callahan) as they are really inexpensive... but as I said... I've never had an issue.

One thing I regret not researching. The Caliper Guide pins according to BMW they dont need to be lubed or greased at all. I did apply a slight amount. Should I go back in a clean them off? Some say they do some they dont.

Depends....
Most techs follow BMW's line of Dry no lube.

Do you think I will be ok with a small amount which I applied? I do I need to go back in there?

Depends....
The lube used could eat away the rubber parts, Check the label. The rubber parts are CHEAP and just pull out and push into the calipers with a little Armor All coating. provide UV protection (until it rains) 90% of the time your fine.

Depending on the lube, the bushings can swell. That causes sticking. If some say they do and some say they don't then some are doing the job correctly and some aren't.

FWIW... I've never lubed the pins on a BMW brake job and never had an issue. YMMV

The issue is (sometimes) from lubing them, when the lube reacts with the guides or rubber covers.
