Switch your pads and rotors at the same time! New pads on used rotors can wear unevenly and your brakes will squeal due to vibration.
Akebono, PBR/Axxis, Centric, and Textar pads are great low dusting pads with excellent bite! Pair that with a set of OE BMW, Brembo, or Zimmerman rotors and you're all set. Also, don't forget to get replacement brake sensor wires!
There's a thread in this forum detailing members who upgraded to M5 brakes. From what I've read you'll need to run at least 19" wheels for the brake setup to work. Also for the cost, you may want to upgrade to Brembo or Stoptech brakes for better performance!
Good luck, and check vendors like Zeckhausen, MJMAutohaus, Bavarian Auto Parts, German Auto Parts, and RockAuto for pads, rotors, and sensor wires.
