Cost me ?140 inc vat and delivery for full set of front and rears with a discount code I have from another BMW forum.

I actually ended up purchasing from Demontweaks who also do them for the same price.
I ask ebc 2 months ago and they dont make red or yellow stuff for my car :thumbsdown:

The red stuff pads are designed for the more powerfull cars... So, just get yourself a 550 and you can have Red or Yellow

only a couple that I know of. the ultimates dont reduce brake dust as much as the deluxe but are said to perform better in braking.

based on this chart, I would get Deluxe Plus Axxis pads. cleaner wheels, better rotor life etc...stopping power would be better than stock anyway I would assume.
