I've been doing some searching and can't find any certainty. Does anyone know of any aftermarket replacement pads that will fit a LCI X5MC? I'm looking for ones that produce way less dust. If they are ceramic that's a bonus, but they don't need to be. The dust buildup is ridiculous and shouldn't happen this fast.

Also coming from a 18 X5M and 21 X5MC. I know the brake squeaking eventually will start showing up too and this is something I want to avoid going forward as well, so the replacements should squeak either.

Thanks in advance

I’m rocking the IS2000 on my rides, r33_RGSport can hook it up.

All F95/F96 X5M/X6M, pre-LCI and LCI are using the same brakes.
So, the iSweep that I am offering do fit on your LCI X5MC.

iSweep is overpriced. So I found other options like Red Stuff and there are a few other brands out there like Power Stop that will fit, but you'll need to find the part number in the forums.

You have a wrong car if you think good parts for X5M is expensive.

There's a fine line between reasonable priced good parts and overpriced good parts...

I put ECB Red Stuff pads on my 911 and there is almost no brake dust, I will put them on my X5M when it arrives.

Use care there... A pad with a coefficient of friction good for a 911 may not be as satisfying when used on a heavy SUV. I made that mistake when I put Carbotech pads on my old Audi Q7. That pad was very popular in the Corvette world for stopping very well with little dust. It was a disaster on the Audi - minimal dust, but at the expense of less braking power than the stock pads.

If I were putting an EBC pad on an X5 of any flavor, I'd be strongly tempted to use the Yellow SUV version (we use EBC Red on our 135i, fwiw).

Yellow is for lighter vehicles.

I run red stuff, didn't notice any difference in stopping power, granted I am not taking the car to the track lol so my main experience is street driving. Dust do seems less.

Agreed. Yellow Truck is the one I was referring to (I said Yellow SUV in error). That one's definitely good for heavier vehicles. Regular Yellow not so much.

Having said all that, I see there's a new Red Extra Duty Truck/SUV compound that looks very promising for us. It claims a higher friction coefficient than the old Red or the Yellow Truck or even the Blue super street pad. These didn't exist the last time I was considering EBC pads.

I have them on the X5MC now and I like how they feel. They're pretty close to stock stopping power which was good, but a lot less dust which was the biggest reason to swap for me. I've had a few other brands and I'm impressed with these otherwise. No odd sounds or squeaky noises either.

Yes, I will use the SUV version, sorry for the confusion. What I should have said is I will be installing the ECB pads for SUV when I get the truck. So far I am happy with ECB pads.

Agreed. Hate vendors who because a vehicle costs a certain amount there is justification to overcharge on basic parts that cost fraction for other vehicle's.

Well price difference comes in pad material. EBC pads are know to eat through rotors. They are great pads, but not on a same tier as Isweep pads. Isweep fades less, doesn't eat through rotors. EBC pads tend to start squealing, there Isweep 2000 doesn't and that is what most of M car owners want to get rid off.

Yeap. Main reason I got iSweep2000 was to get rid of the squeak squeak, second was the dust. I love the bite and stopping power. For my driving style it feels better than stock. In fact, I went to a BMW M event on a local track; both my 21 x6m and m8 with iSweep had better stopping distance compared to the same vehicles available on track.

Last week with less than 200 miles on my 24 x6m and m8 i swapped to iSweep. they will last the duration of my lease. Totally worth it for me.

I was looking at pads on the Turner website, it does not say they are for the F95. Do the pads from the previous generation car still fit this one?

Nice to know. I got the is1500 on my 24 X5M. Dust is minimal but I feel the stop performance was affected negatively. Rg Sport recommended to switch to is2000. Your review gives me confidence to order those then. Thanks.
