During this time I also replaced the brake pads with oem ATE one’s (low dust) and oem brake fluid flush.

Regular carbon ceramic brake pads, from Ate and I presume also Brembo, are better than normal pads. Same stopping power but much less heat generation and brake dust.
I put ATE200 + Ferodo DS2500 pads on my Mk7 in prep for its one (half) trackday, have been on for a few thousand street miles and work well at all temps.
I'm really liking the ATE pads I got for my 340i with the brembo F/Rs.
Right (passenger) front ABS sensor (ATE part no. WHT-003-860-B), when I got a slew of "Implausible Data" messages on my CANBus the day after Christmas, along with one complaint in Brakes module about the sensor. Replaced the sensor >2 weeks ago (Thanks to AutohauzAZ), and haven't had another issue.
I went with the pads from ATE and got them fitted today, all in all it cost around 200 USD / 2000 SEK. 2 years ago the mechanic told me all 4 brakes need replacing. Today when they were replaced the rear ones had about half of the material left and the front 1/3.
I went ATE pads and rotors from FCP and couldn't be happier
I run ATE Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my MK7 and am very satisfied.
Did you replace the speed sensor with OEM part? I think they are ATE brand but that was on my 2016 passat. I had put in aftermarket speed sensors at one point which were doing exact thing you are experiencing. Changed to OEM ate part and everything was perfect.
So my options are just replace rear pads w/ oem pads or replace rear rotors w/ ate slotted ones and ate pads. Basically what I just installed on the pepperwagen. Thoughts??
