Brakes for a 2006 X5
 

My wife's 2006 X5 has 32K on it and the "check brake linings" light has come on. I will replace them myself. I would like a little advice on what pads I should purchase. I can't stand the dust the OEM pads produce. The X5 isn't driven that hard unless I drive it. Any suggestions for replacement pads? Thanks.

You still covered under your new car warranty? These should be replaced under the zero maintenance program for free.

If you use the search function you will find tons of info so you're well prepared for this job. There are many opinions and you can read all about it. Personally, I have been happy with Axxis Deluxe pads.

I bought the car used in November 2008. It is still under warranty. I didn't think about the warranty covering the pads. I'll check with the dealership tomorrow. Excuse my ignorance. Thanks for the information!!

No problem! That's what we are here for!

And Welcome!
