what is the best brake combo to replace stock

I need to get new brake pads and I was possibly thinking about doing new rotors as well. What is the best and most economical replacement parts for the 550i M sport?

Are you going to track the car? If not, I'd replace pads with OEM pads or more aggressive pads from StopTech and resurface rotors.

I am a monthly scca autocrosser that has yet gotten to take my fat car to the track lol. I ordered a powerstop z23 front and rear brake kit.

In this case your worry is more about weight than exhausting the brakes.
