Hey Guys. Tomorrow, Mike, the sales manager will be sending me over discount pricing depending on quantity. I will post here as soon as I get that information.

Mike is a true enthusiast also. I'm so fortunate to have them close by me.

Badboy8813 · 05-04-2016, 04:15 PM

phil_ · 05-04-2016, 05:03 PM

Count me in for a group buy.

they told me they are at the stage of making them and it might be anytime between now and 9 months front pads will be available for sale

TrevorM3 · 05-04-2016, 09:11 PM

so what if time comes and you need rotors, and bmw sees you wet aftermarket pads.. will they still cover the rotors?

ur20v · 05-04-2016, 09:30 PM

depends on your dealer really. They want the work so have a vested interest in turning a blind eye

how are they performance wise? do you feel any lack of breaking power compared to stock pads?

Mr_M5Guy · 05-05-2016, 11:07 AM

Below is from CarboTech, the logistics involved may be not worth it, but I thought I would pass it along.

Group buy option #1: (10) sets- 15% discount

Group buy option #2: (20) sets- 20% discount

All sets must ship to one location, that is the tricky part. However, if everyone is local, you just have to pick one address for us to ship them to (across the state line would be best, no tax then) or have someone pick them up. If picked up, there will be 7% sales tax added on to the order. One CC needs to be used as well and that person would need to collect from each person.

M5Beast_NYC · 05-05-2016, 02:30 PM

Sorry did i miss the price? what are we deducting 15% or 20% off?

phil_ · 05-05-2016, 02:54 PM

MSRP is $280 fronts, $210 rears.

iamvietness · 05-05-2016, 03:00 PM

Damn wish I was local. Would someone in the GB be willing to ship it to me? Lol

Redrckt135 · 05-05-2016, 03:22 PM

Everyone is posting that these pads drastically
Reduce brake dust but what is the stopping power compared to oem pads? In an emergency situation I'll take my stopping power to avoid an accident over reduced brake dust any day

ur20v · 05-05-2016, 11:32 PM

Might be worth seeing if they will just give us a forum discount code and we order direct?

phil_ · 05-06-2016, 08:44 AM

I can't stand the squeaking and brake dust so I ordered a set directly from Carbontech.

Rears were not in stock so they will make them on Monday or Tuesday

I'm also ordering brand new rotors.

Negligible difference in performance. If you want max performance, don't swap them. Mine is a street car and could care less if it performed less than stock since brake dust was a daily struggle.

Seems like too much trouble for 15-20%.....

Not concerned with max performance. I just want to know my car is going to stop when I need it to. If it feels the same as stock or very close to it then these pads are worth getting.

m5james · 05-06-2016, 07:22 PM

I'm in for a group buy if someone can ask if they make pads for a 2010 X5M as well.

996/699 · 05-07-2016, 12:14 PM

Did the fronts only...dust is no longer an issue as it takes days to weeks to get the front dirty, squeal took few days to disappear, and stopping performance is close to stock but not as good and only marginally. Couldn't put a number on it but under 10% difference. Highly recommend them! May do rears soon because it takes so long for fronts to get dirty the rears start to look bad. lol

Mr_M5Guy · 05-07-2016, 01:43 PM

Installing front and rears as we speak!
