E63 Brake Pad Replacement Options
Anyone have any experience replacing their stock E63 pads with EBC Reds or Centric Posi-Quiet pads? I see there are lots of posts from the E55 side of the house but can't find much on the E63's.
Found some front EBC's on Ebay for $115 and rears for $105.

I never go to the track, so I'm just looking for something that would be good for daily driving. Minimizing brake dust would be great too. The dealer quotes for OEM were outrageous.

I went with the Akebono's on my E55 from Rock Auto at about the same price. Almost no brake dust at all and they stop as well as OEM. The car gets dirty before the wheels do now.
Love it.

IIRC OEM fronts are about $250 and rears are $150..? There are some options out there, but you'll return more if you search under C63...Same brakes, but for some reason people tend to list stuff only under the C...I've never run anything but EBC race compounds so I have no idea about their street pads...
