I decided to go powerstop with the X5M also since they have the pads, but not the rotors. The rear come with replacement bushings and both sets come with high temp grease and bedding instructions. You can find them on Amazon or rockauto the cheapest depending on shipping charges. Summit and autoanything sell them also.

bmwofsouthatlanta is the cheapest I've seen for the F85 rotors and shipping isn't bad either.
Thank you sir
I used to use Slotted/Cross-drilled rotors from Brake Performance on my previous X5 and they were great, unfortunately they don't make them for X5M.
I also used to use Akebono brake pads, whch were great as well, same story not for X5M
