Hey. Those aren't for the X5M right? I just purchase some from Crappy Tire (Canadiantire.ca). for $110 CAD. Thats got to be a record for the M. Measured the rotors and they were 35mm including the lip. So, without a caliper to measure the brakes with, I think they are below minimum so didn't machine them, just put the pads on. And, surprisingly they work well. Probably would take a few days to break in, so I'll wait for another few days. But, the cheapest I could find new for high quality front brakes was $350 per rotor, plus $200 for a set of ebc yellow pads, which I think are the highest performing pads I could get? Plus $20 for the wear indicator, so all in about $1000 USD. Will do that next time the fronts need it. The OEM Plus pads from Canadian tire seem to be very dusty, so probably won't last long.
