The picture is not right. The BMW uses 4 pads per caliper, not 2.

I used the stock pads as replacements.

I run DP pads on everything I own now. They are probably the best, next to the HRC pads I use on my RC51 Track bike.

SO there are 8 pads in the front calipers?

Yep.. each single pad is fairly small in itself. I have Carbone Lorraine's that I got from STG. You will need 1 card for each caliper as each card has 4 pads. Price, like $25 a card. They stop ya... quick

Except for racing, I'm a believer that stock pads are typically the best overall.

I must have some "racing" pads because they squeal a lot when cold. Wouldn't be suprised if they'd turn out to be Alpha Racing as I have their rims / discs.
