35i front discs

Has anyone changed their front brake discs on their 35i ?
If so what make of discs did you buy ? There is a few makes out there at various prices but I'd like to know of any that someone has already used and been happy with.

I used some ATE discs. 348mm.

ATE are the OEM supplier so I played it safe. The discs have been good so far.

Cheers, I've been looking at those as well as the Textar ones which are a similar price.
What pads did you go with ? I was hoping to go with Ferodo DS2500 but doesn't look like they do them for the e89 :(

Went with Pagid. They are OK for stopping but create a lot of dust and have the odd squeak which comes and goes (even after re-applying ceratec). Next time I will use Brembo pads.

Ok cheers for that, I'll do a little more research on the pads, I used Yellow stuff pads in my last one which seemed to work well but still got hot on the track.
