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.

what's not for X5M? pads or the rotors? both work well in X5M E70!
