My Ride: F10 535I
Model Year: 2016
Alright,
I need a little help, the brake pads on my car are squeaking extremely bad. and I'm going to swap them out. I dont know what brake pads to get. can anyone make any suggestions, I;m not trying to spend alot of money on them. should I just get OEM ones or aftermarket ones that claims they are quieter and have less brake dust?
Thanks for the input.

I haven't washed my car in a week, and my rims look cleaner today than my old 530xi did after 1 day. I'd go with Axxis if I were you.

One of the little things I love about the M5 is the relatively dust-free brake pads. I never truly realized what a PITA the regular pads were till I got the beast.

Shit, if I would have known that... I would have jumped on this one deal. Someone told me M5 brake pads dust more than non-M E60's.
