It is so difficult to shop for brake pads. Search around for reviews on the forums for ANY brake pad and you will get a person that says a particular brake pad dusts real bad, has bad cold bite, and doesnt last long while another person will say that it is the perfect pad. It definitely depends on the condition of the rest of the system and the IQ of the person giving the review. I took Turner's recommendation and got the PBR/Axxis XBG (Metalmaster) pads with Balo and Zimmermann rotors. It has been too cold for me to go out and bed the pads properly but in the 20 miles I have driven on them they have been so/so, I hope the cold bite is better once they are bed properly.

i bought brembo slotted front rotors from tirerack. Mainly because they were cheaper than blanks at the time... they were having a sale. Brembo blanks in the rear. I have Axxis ultimates and they are a good autocross/street pad.

For the record, my recommendation is "professional". The setup I recommended is what we use on almost every BMW at the shop.
