Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Audi
On my previous EV, a BMW i3, the brake pads were the same as the Mini Cooper (except for the 2014, which used a shaved-down pad for some reason).

When I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors earlier this year - he straight up told me that the front pads were almost out but the rotors were good and since this particular dealership needed you to replace both together - he recommended a local German auto shop that would replace just the brake pads.
Pros: better deal on tires
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Pros: pads replaced by independent
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I just bought pads, rotors and sensors. Went with BMW branded, lifetime replacement warranty makes it a no brainier.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
BMW
Used them twice. Both times had excellent speedy service for a good price. Both times were brakes on my 3 series (front discs and pads, then rears). Saved a significant chunk of cash.
Pros: excellent speedy service, good price

Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).
Pros: long lasting, good feel
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 200000 km
Did brake rotors and pads myself parts about 400-500$. Brakes never wore out either they just warped.
Pros: DIY possible
Cons: warped easily
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 240000 km
OEM BMW Performance. Can’t recommend the brake pads though, dusty as hell. I had Hawk HPS5.0 pads before, those performed better than the OE pads with the added bonus of being very low dust.
Pros: low dust, better performance
Cons: dusty
Vehicle:
BMW
Welcome - get used to it, unfortunately!
Cons: lots of brake dust
It’s almost as if spirited driving causes wear.
Cons: brake wear
Vehicle:
BMW M4
