Brake Pads
I had my X serviced today. Got a new driver's side front window regulator...no more big popping noise when my window goes up!! Had some hoses that were "dry rotted" replaced. They said it would be $550.00 to replace the fuel gauge to correct the reading error. Told my "service advisor" NEVERMIND...I'll deal with it! Anyway, the real reason for the post is because they said I'm going to need front brake pads (and possibly rotors) soon. What do you guys recommend for no more brake dust? Thanks  ~Michelle~

Or you can go with PBR... at least I think it's PBR that Gary put on the X5... and on my M3 for that matter.

I went w/ Axxis Deluxe & Drilled Brembos rotors. Looks Great!
I did my rear brakes last night....Okay, actually I watched as a buddy did them. But I learned a lot...totally easy job...it's theft that dealers want 550-700 for the job. Total cost to me was 222 for parts and I gave my buddy $50 for the 'lesson'. Plus I got better rotors than OEM...I went w/ some Drilled Brembo's...they look great!Hardest part was getting to the caliper pressure bolt to get it off....the shock is in the way..it took some time but we got it out. Doing the brake flush and Coolant Flush tomorrow.

Michelle, I have Axxis Deluxe pads too and like everyone said they're amazing. No more brake dust so you don't have to clean your wheels as often.

I got the Axxis Ultimate pads, yes they dust, but they stop the X5 on a dime! Hayaku sold 'em to me...thinking he would not get a X5, and now he has a 4.4i again!
Axxis stuff is great. Then again, you can do what SG does and just not drive the X5 and keep it in the garage. Brake Dust problem solved!
