no noise means that the pads are soft and don't last long if hard braking most of the time.

I had installed Ferodo two months ago. In the beginning there is some noise, but now it is getting less & less.

My HAWK becomes no sound now....remember to "open the skin" after you installed.

Procedure is simple: accelerate to about 70km/hr, then hard brake to almost stop. Do this for 10 times continuously. Do not soft brake between each cycle. So you need to find a long straight road without car.

hi guys

could anyone share some of his experience on changing the rims from the original ones 04 525i to the M5 ones?

I know there are some Taiwanese wheels which look exactly the same, are they good? are they all 18'?

besides, which tyres suit best? as i am currently using European tyres which are rediculously long lasting

I am thinking of Taiwanese M5 rims + japanese GR90 , ok ma?
