Those MGP covers looks cool , are the caliper 35i , I was wondering if the MGP CALIPER will fit on A x5M ( 2010)

yes those covers were on 35i, my M came with blue calipers so I never feel the need to do anything extra there. I would think that MGP make covers that will fit the X5M as well but as I mentioned before I wouldn't go this route as they tend to move.
good luck with your choice

Tend to move as in some functional issues? I don’t want to face some issue just because of the looks, do you know if the caliper is different size for 35i and x5m . I ceryainly k ow the rotor is big in x5m

I believe that X5M calipers are bigger, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure...

The covers moved a little bit but it didn't cause any functional issues...

Yes you are right , the front caliper of the x5m had two cylinders and it was hugging the entire rotar this may not fit

anyone running these?

I am getting a brake pad warning in my iDrive, I have yet to pull the wheel and check the inner pad, but the outer pads look like they are getting close, maybe a little early for replacement, but I am certainly tired of the brake dust. The rotors were done less then 20k ago, so they don't need to be replace (I assume, I will still mic them). I wish there was a way to know if the warning is going off due to just mileage programmed into the system, or an actual brake pad sensor showing rotor contact. Maybe someone will chime in and tell me how to differentiate the two.

Just put these on my X5M. Highly recommend. I'd say its 90% OEM bite with about 25% of the dust

I did. The new sensors are cheap so I figured it was worth it.

I just re did my budget and realized I am poor. I went with a different cheaper pad.

Dude! I paid $100 for all four powerstop pads... autoanything.com

JoeyBimX5din · 11-08-2017, 11:06 AM

The pad set was only 27$. They are still powerstop ceramics.
