I have a 530i 2005 and need some new brake pads and rotors and want to lean away from OEM because their brake pads squeak too much. What are some good quality rotors/pads that I can buy that wont empty my wallet too much. I wanted M5 brakes but cant get them cheaper than 1k. Please lemme know.thanks

how about the r1 rotors and axxis pads that trinity sells...
and since those rotors are cross drilled...perfect time to upgrade wheels also

Hey man I just ordered rotors from Nerweezy. Smooth transaction and fairly inexpensive. You can't go wrong either way! Both vendors are awesome.. GL with your choice...
