M550i Brake Upgrade
Looking to upgrade from my stock set of brake pads and possibly upgrading the rotors. Apparently the stock pads are on backorder from Germany until the end of the month. I was considering EBC red stuff pads, do you guys have any other recommendations on pads and rotors combo or where to buy online? Car has approximately 50k miles on it and stealership 'recommended replacing the rotors with the pads.'

Many on Facebook M550iX forums are having no trouble ordering Brembo rotors and pads. Brembo makes two pad formulations, oem and ceramic (low dust). The rotors look like oem with the aluminum hubs.

for OE size rotors there is no "upgrade" per say, BMW tends to use harder steel compared to others, the rotor already has an aluminum hat, so the only change would be drilled/slotted
for brake pads again no real 'upgrade' you can try low dust but they sometimes have more noise, for replacement zimmermann makes fantastic quality rotors https://www.ecstuning.com/b-zimmerma...116860909-1kt/ if you are looking for a better peddle feel, I would recommend dot 5.1 fluid and SS lines
