Some while back I asked advise regarding which front discs and replacement pads I should consider to purchase for my E60 550i.
For various reasons I didn’t get around to to the job but now it’s time to get on with it. I am going for Brembo discs and pads, but a little confused at the choice for pads ranging from £41 set to £87 set.
Average road use of my car does not demand kit suited to track days. Any suggestions for which pads I should go for. Thanks.

Thanks guys, the car tends to sit around with limited use in mileage terms as well. I’m confused regarding the price difference of the brembo pads as well.

Thanks to all contributors, looks like ATE are the favoured brand. I will get back into Autodoc.

Check the app as well; generally the best discounts are on there.

I add the parts to my wish list via my Mac and the do the order via the app on my iPhone etc
Thanks for tips, checked their website and the discs, pads and wear sensor come in at a rounded £345 all in. I will have a look at the app installation for my ipad.
My son will be doing the fitting for me, I’ve ordered a brake caliper piston rewind tool just to make life a little easier for him.
Thanks again.
