As for 'ceramic' brake pads. They do have significantly less dust than stock pads. I have ceramic on the front and stock on the rear and the difference is beyond just noticable. It's huge. That being said, I *hate* the ceramic pads. Their bite is inconsistent and difficult to modulate. The pedal feel is softer than stock (yes, I know how to bleed brakes so please stifle that impulse to reply about that). I will replace the ceramics with stock pads well before these wear out. Probably this fall when the tires have to come off for my 'winter' set...maybe sooner as they really, truly suck.

Whatever you say boss. Good call on the blanks and pads cfmistry, sounds like that will work out real well for ya. I'd apply some of the savings to a pricey fluid, but that's just me and different strokes for different folks. But perhaps it isn't needed. I don't know. Guess I'll err on the side of caution.

 FWIW, we've had X5's driven at several driving schools that I instruct at. One, when it first came out, with the dealer owner, who is a race car driver himself, driving it around the track with 3 passengers. Lap after lap of E-ticket rides and no brake problems of any kind. I have run more brake fluid through my vehicles than most people. It is a byproduct of from having raced BMWs for over a decade. I never needed $80/liter brake fluid when I raced (Motul RBF600 was fine) so I just don't see why anyone would need it for an X5. I don't remember the guys in the towing threads having a problem with boiling their brake fluid, so I'm not sure why regular users would have a problem.
