Brake Replacement Options - Rotors & Pads

Rear are 1MM away and fronts soon to follow. What are folks using for rotors and pads? I've done some quick searching on here, ECS, RockAuto, Bimmerworld, etc. and don't love all of the pieced together options. Would prefer to buy a kit whole or get recos from knowledgeable folks like yourself.

Please let me know. Looking for OEM-ish options, not BBK.

Thanks!
CP

I'm using brembo pads and rotor. From Bavaria auto sports(parts?) Its very cheap, only around $200 for the front and similar for the rear. Or you can go with a Napa ultra premium kinda thing + elkibono ceramic pads which gonna run you about $250 still extremely cheap for brakes......

Thanks for the insight. Probs should have been more specific that I am looking for X5M, which seem to have limited cost effective options... Ha.

I just replaced mine. Used rock auto. My rear rotors are for sale since they got plenty of life left if you want to stick with OEM on all 4 corners
