I need new front pads. I've done a little research on here and a lot of you seem to be running Pagid pads, are they the ones listed HERE? As they are cheaper than the OEM ATE pads? Do they make much difference? I don't want any major squeal / excessive dust as you would get from track focussed pads but I assume these are the entry level items
 
I have a brand new set of Axxis to go on mine when the existing ones are gone. Reason for having those is 0 dust.

I have them on my X5 as well, and eliminated 99% of the dust and the wheels stay completely clean. Once fitted, they did squeel in the beginning, that being the only downside.
 
Where can I get those? The squealing would bother me though.

I assume the Pagids at Eurocarparts are not RS29s for that money but are they of the same quality / better than the ATE?
 
AXXIS from CA Automotive:

Sqealing does not always happen on all installations. I installad them on another Z4, and they did not make any noise. I am just warning that on one of my cars, they DID make a noise and others have reported that.

It does not bother me as it only did it when cold (i.e. the first brake when stopping at the end of the drive).
 
Got the Pagit RS29's. Fab pads! But they seem to eat my brake discs while not the pads :)

Had a few bad experiences with CA and no good ones, so I get them through my local supplier.
 
I ended up using http://www.cpcpe.com/ as I couldn't be bothered.

Nice guys, good service, fair pricing. £65 inc VAT for labour, quoted £450 for an Insp 2 and definitely knew their stuff so I would recommend them.
