What is your outcome Powell? I have an 06' 4.4i and need to do brakes/rotors/sensors. I want the best/economical setup that will last without making noise.

Did you do the brake linings (pads) light reset? If not, see instructions from BMW TIS in the highlighted box below:

Hey guys sorry for the long delay Ive been busy with work and applying for the Sheriff Office and finishing up everything with that and to top it off my wife is pregnant and due in a month, so needless to say we've been busy!! Brake light sensor went off on its own after a couple of days, assuming everything is fine there. The car stops on a dime. IT actually stops SO good we went down to Panama City and a car apparently forgot how to drive in front of us and stopped dead. Well my trusty cool carbon pads and new rotors grabbed like a champ. Unfortunately the car behind me didn't fair so well and neither has my rear bumper. She's in the body shop right now getting a new rear end which works out for me because I wanted to do a rear and front facelift and now I only have to pay for the front! Only worry for me is my brakes have started squealing under light braking. Taking to my indy soon to hope they can throw some anti squeal on there for me because frankly i don't feel like jacking her up and doing it all over again.

One thing to consider: Pads create immense heat which if not properly cooling can warp your rotors. Some suggest a pad that breaks down easily during high heat braking, creates a great more dust but doesn't have a negative effect on your rotors. BTW, I agree with Jeff, any kind of ice cream as long as its homemade, but always creme anglaise style. Good luck.
