I'm going to be needing a brake job whithin the next month. I'm looking to get Axxis deluxe brake pads. Who has the best prices? Do I have to change the rotors and sensors as well? I know BMW replaces them with every brake job. Is this necessary? Thanks!

The posi quiet pads are not garbage and definitely not the worst for any BMW. They are decent brake pads for the price. They provide decent stopping power, very low noise, and low dust as well. Yes the Axxis Ultimates are really good, but they squeak A LOT.

I've been comparing different brake pads, and hope you guys can help me decide (now, play nice).
I want decent pad performance, at least equivalent to OEM, but I want much MUCH LESS brake dust than my OEM pads.
The pads should be rotor-friendly too. I won't autocross or do a track day, but they should also be able to handle the heat of spirited driving in the mountains without fade.
I also plan to replace the OEM rotors with either Centric or R1 Concepts replacement rotors (same size as OEM)---- for 545 with Sport package.
Now, without slamming the other guy's products, tell me which pad you recommend and WHY----- keep in mind my criteria listed above.
Up to now I thought Axxis Deluxe pads (not Axxis ULT) looked like the best choice (for my needs) but I hear they are being phased out.
thanks for your help.

I had my 545i with the R1concept Premium rotors slotted/drilled, but we offer blanks as well
I had Axxis Deluxe pads and I loved them, but once they stopped producing more of them I went with the posi quiet semi metallic's then sold the car. I hope this helps making your decision.
