Yes, I'll do it next time I take the wheels off for cleaning. Still selling?

Nope...
Nothing I like even remotely as much.
I spent the time looking, and short of an X5M there is nothing I would get.
But I think I'm done with mods on the X...
Going to do some work on my Stealth TT.

^^ No, I didn't clear coat them. I'm going to throw on a light coat over the vinyl sticker once I get them in.

I finally got a chance to do some heavy braking including threshold braking with these. The feel! Miles ahead of the stock calipers in terms of feel, extremely progressive, they very much remind me of my 4 pot stoptechs that I had on my M3.

I bedded the pads doing repeated near stops from 100 km/hr, and there was zero brake fade. Just amazing, makes me wonder just how much better the X5M is over my diesel. I really don't want to find out, I may just have to buy one

Don't drive one...

From first hand experience, I can tell you not to drive an X5M, or you WILL WANT ONE!

We now have a sample of how good they are with the new STOP, but the GO is even more impressive.

I've driven a few X5Ms and loved them, but just too much money for my budget...
