I recommend Balo rotors and Mintex Street pads for the street. The Balos are as good as stock and the Mintex pads have the same bite and feel as stock (perhaps better as they may be less grabby than the M5 stock brakes) and are far less dusty, only a bit more than the Repco Deluxe pads, which suck in brake feel. Mintex Street pads are for street only, obviously.
You can use the 750 rotors (cheaper) on the front w/o any other upgrades so I'd go with those in your place.
Good idea to flush the brake and clutch fluid at the same time. Castrol LMA or ATE Super Blue/Gold would be a decent fluid to use. I use the former.
You can get these parts at http://www.elephantmotorsports.com from Jack Money.

Need to do my brakes.........front/rear rotors, pads, lines and fluid. Should I go with BMW rotors, or are any of the aftermarket rotors just as good. Budget does not allow for 750/540 rear rotor/caliper upgrade. Trying to avoid the usual warped rotor problem. Anyone had experience with aftermarket rotors/pads? I drive quickly, but do no track use.
Thanks, Roy.
