Where do you guys buy your pads from? Not many A90 venders carry them. Mainly super expensive stuff like Endless

Wheel Woolies will save you lots of time cleaning wheels.

Thank you! Top of my to do list for sure. The OCD in me canā€™t go without cleaning the

wheels every two days.
I used to be just like you. Now I only clean the wheels every 2 weeks when I wash the car. The wheels are cleaner than the car now.

I would say equivalent to slightly better. The pedal is less grabby at slower speeds. The braking is more linear and predictable.

And yes, 90-95% of brake dust is gone.

I used this video as a guide. But instead of the metal pry bars and channel locks I used wooden dowels and small rectangles of 1/2ā€ oak. I cringed when I saw how he was treating those painted calipers! ?

The factory pads are glued to the pistons. Iā€™m not sure why BMW does that.

Lol yeah I was like wth is he using that metal pry bar. But he was pretty careful not to scuff the caliper. He didnā€˜t use the weights on the new pads. Are those not necessary? Thank you for the suggestion using wooden dowels. For the rears I have a brake piston tool might be perfect for pushing the piston back.
