I have axxis deluxe on my car - put them on at 500km and have 12,000km on it now. No complaints, feels just like the oem pads but no dust. Just ordered a set for my wife's X3. A friend of mine has been running them on his cars (2002 M5, 2000 Boxster, 2001 X5) for a couple of years now with no issues either.

Once you put them one you will wonder why anyone uses oem pads - seriously.

WC 550 thx any link ?

I've been told Axxis is really good. You have option to choose exactly what your need. Look at their comparison chart!

I'll change to Axxis once I have my maintenance expires. Why spend another ~$340? (Parts and labor) Don't forget that you need to buy 4 brake pad sensors, too.

That is quite wrong my friend.... You only need 2 brake pad sensors: One on left front braking pads and one on right rear braking pads.
