Can anyone recommend the best discs and pads for an '08 E91 Edition SE without breaking the bank?

The BMW part numbers are:

Front disc: B34.11.6.855.006
Front pads: B34.11.6.780.711
Rear disc: B34.21.6.855.008
Rear pads: B34.21.6.774.692

.... and do I really need to buy new sensors? Low pad warning light isn't on if this helps.

Also, does anyone know the corresponding disc sizes for these model numbers?

Cheers,
Andrew

Have you checked the prices at
www.eeuroparts.com (http://www.eeuroparts.com)

They have oem parts in stock. I buy from them all the time.

OEM brake pads are too dusty. I would avoid them if you can.

Great timing, I was about to post a similar thread. My 06 E90 330i Sport just kicked on the brake pad light yesterday. Is it worth it to upgrade to aftermarket pads and / or rotors for a car that is basically daily driven (ive not had any complaints about the stock brakes honestly)? Though as mentioned the OEM stuff dusts like a fool! And I wouldnt mind not having to clean brake dust all the time.
