New front discs+pads e61 M5
Discussion
I would ask your main dealer for a price to supply discs and pads. You may be surprised.
See if they can match the cost of the (good) aftermarket bits too.
I went through two pairs of ATE front discs on my M5 - both sets giving horrible judder after about 3000miles.
Went to genuine parts and they are been perfect.
I had assumed the ATE discs were the same as the genuine parts, considering it is a Treves brake system, but that does not appear to be the case.

Upon seeing the thread title I was going to say just the same thing.See if they can match the cost of the (good) aftermarket bits too.

I would also ask them for a quote to supply and fit. They are currently supplying and fitting E39 M5 discs and pads for £600, which is part of their promotion to offer service parts at 40% discount (if supplied and fitted). I suspect the price for the E60/61 is similarly surprising.
It's also worth getting quotes from a couple of dealers and pitching them against one another to try to secure a further discount.
