It's not too bad, but I plan on switching the pads to a carbon fiber/ ceramic pad when they're available.
What carbon ceramic pads do you typically use?
On my M3 I run the Powerstop Z23 pad. I talked with Powerstop and they're supposed to start working on getting them made for the X5.
How is their run life? I'm assuming the main reason to use them if for brake dust. Is it worth the premium?
They're cheaper than OEM, less dust, last longer than OEM and stop as good as, if not a little better than OEM.
I though they'd be more expensive. Is there any data backing up the stopping distances vs oem?
Nope just me driving the car back to back with the pads.
