I looked up the part number on website and then ordered them off amazon. I think i used vividracing for the part number.

Try searching xxxx(year) x5 4.6is axxis deluxe vividracinf, copy the part number into amazon search they had the best price.

Now , did this come with those shims ? or they not require?
And did you use any anti-squeal compound?
Also did it come with that brake sensor wire?

Really appreciate your help! and advice ... just wanted to make sure i put the right stuff...

Thanks!

I replaced my pads right before they would start wearing into the sensor. As long as the dash light isnt on you can take out the old one and put it back in. They didnt come w sensor.

I dont think shims or any antisqueal, mine are fine.

Personally since i check my ride all the time i left my pad sensors out and just ziptied them to the cable. I dont have a need for them and dont want to but new ones if i wear into them. Can always be put in if you want though.

I the description it say something "Notes: w/ 1 clip-on WSW not included" wondering whats about... (at amazon link)

[4.8isX5]

Im thinking "wear sensor wire" theres a small clip in there should be able to reuse the old one.

[4.8isX5]

This small clip on the sensor, this is from my rears i did this week,
