Replace front break pads
 

I am looking for low dust pads for my X5 front break and found these Axxis Deluxe pads on eBay:
BMW E53 X5 00-06 Axxis Deluxe Advanced Brake Pads Front:eBay Motors (item 320188275493 end time Jun-18-09 21:53:28 PDT)

I would like to receive some reviews inputs from members who already replaced these pads on their X5.

My rotors are still good. Is it ok if we just replace new pads with used rotors on X5?

I recently replaced my OE pads with the Axxis Deluxe. I didn't replace my rotors (but I measured the thickness to confirm that they were still above spec). I didn't machine the rotors either as I had no pedal pulsation/vibration when braking so I assumed they were still nice and flat. I followed the "bed-in" procedure that you can find posted in these forums.

I'm very happy with the pads. Pedal feel and stopping performance seem similar to the original BMW pads and brake dust is almost non existent.

If your rotors are still above thickness spec and are still flat, then you should be able to replace only the pads. Consider also replacing the wear sensors. I reused mine (which was very easy) although I noticed that the cables are very thin and could be easily broken while doing the replacement.

My rotors are still above thickness spec it will be last for more than 30K miles. I may go with Axxis Deluxe with low dust. My OEM pads are too much dust and I have to wash my wheels every single weekend:(

Leave your car dirty so the brake dust can blend in :rofl:

Tom, still sleepy or scary your CEO knows the storyy???? my X5: break pads generate a lot of dust but body does not generate any dust:D It's hard to make them blend together. LOL
By the way, i will order these pads soon and replace the existing dusty pads whenever i receive the shipping.
