mate I got a full set of bendix for $100.00. i have got to say they work perfect and i really dont consider that anything more exotic or expensive is worth the money if its not for track or any specific performance application. I have always used bendix pads on every car ive had and for e34 its made no differance. they work and for the wear that we go through thay are good enough for me. I dont doubt that there are superior pads about but at the end of the day the bendix are not as cheap shitty pad and the quality is good. they are made to take the sensor, albeit the original in the vehicle, but there are so many other things that need money spent. mortgage, wife, family business etc. Id rather replace a set of bendix every year( 10 minute job) for a hundred bucks than try a new brand. Just my 2 bobs worth. if u need a hand when ur doing them give a yell!
