Alex:

If you only use your car for the street I suggest:

1. Balo rotors
2. Sachs Mintex Street pads

http://www.bmaautoparts.com has good prices.

Also, the 750i rotors fit the car and are cheaper. Keep the rest stock as it is fine for the street. Save your upgrade money for better maintenance like belts, hoses, filters, fluids, seals, plugs, fuel hoses, clamps and the like. Once you bring the car up to scratch, you can 'try' to improve it.
