I just put a set of Wagner on the rear of my E60. Same pad specs and a perfect fit. The car stops dead fast.
I personally use Wagner Thermoquiet for my BMW because of low dust and noise-free. They are great pads.
According to Rockauto, Wagner ThermoQuiet parts are available for that car. I would just get those - I've used them on everything I've owned for the past 10 years or so with good results.
I have Bendix/Zimmerman rotors and stock ATE/Brembo SM pads and pound the living s**t out of the brakes on Track Days and HPDE ( instructor ). Other than a bit of fade after about 6 laps of HARD braking I've had zero issues. Pad life and condition is still excellent.
I'm definitely sold on ATE parts. They are the OEM on my GTI and have 49,000 miles on all the original pads and rotors, plenty of life left.
I am very pleased with the brake system end results. ALL new rubber in the whole system: New calipers, new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and all four new rubber hoses.
Some new brakes, as the old ones are, well old & warped! ATE POwer disc's front & rear.
I used ATE pads, ECS Slotted Front Rotors/plain faced rears, and did a brake flush with ATE Type 200 fluid. Now that my brakes are good and bedded, I can tell there's a significant improvement especially in the rain.
I had it resurfaced and changed the pads to ATE ceramic pads. Now all my problem are solved.
Ok, so, at a particular location I worked at we used Wagner Thermoquiets. Decent pads, but this particular location seemed to get the worst quality pads ever. The only way we could keep the customer from coming back was to make sure everything was well lubricated, and we also used some sort of orange goop to stick the brake pads to the calipers. Then we took it out for a break-in session, I believe it was 5 stops from 30mph, gently using the brakes, then another 5 with moderate brake pressure. And if the customer was too hard on the brakes it might still come back.
