Brakes and rotors

Hi Guys
It's time for me to change my front brakes on my 2012 x5d, is it recommend to change the rotors as well? I have read some posts if the rotors are still above min wear 28.4 mm then it's ok to use them unless they have uneven.
Any recommendations on brakes and rotors or should I stay with oem?
Would be nice to have less brake dust.

I've been using Centric dustless pads on all of my vehicles for over 15 years and am very pleased with their performance and rotor wear and my clean wheels.

You mean OE BMW, not 'OEM- the company that made the original pads, but now under their own name'??



Pet Peeve

I used Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors. About $320 w sensor on Amazon, delivered.

I change rotors with pads, dont bother measuring. Just seems cheap and safe.
