I believe they look the same, just a bit bigger, I'm still on my originals at 35K, but getting near to replacement so well impressed. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I have just done mine (D4 MY12) and followed Bodsy's brake bible (written for the D3 but same process for D4)
I went for Mintex pads (Same manufacturer as LR parts but cheaper)
Easiest brake pad change I have done

The bible says to use a calliper retraction tool or suitable home made device. What are people using? I don't mind buying the right tool for the job if it makes things easier. Or are people just using something simple and cheap?
