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.

Alex,
I did upgrade on mine when I did the brakes. Car stops great and I now have no problems with front rotors.(either) Bought used calipers and brackets from junkyard, new rotors and (Pagid) pads from local wholesaler. Good luck.
