THANKS Brad,

OEM is fine, I should have asked where to shop for parts too? I do not want to deal with the dealership, major rip-off here in my town. Do you have a suggestion?
THANKS

Something you might look into prior to changing the front pads though is to inspect and see if the rear pads need to be changed also. On my 325i, the rear pads had about 3 times more wear than the fronts with the same mileage. If you are using the CBS to determine when you need brake pads, I also suggest that you have someone visually inspect the pads. In my case, the CBS was way off for the fronts and somewhat accurate for the rears.
