Good bye brake dust!

Looks like Akebono is finally coming out with their Euro line of pads for the LR3. I have them in my M5 and love them. OE braking performance and no dust.[/I]

Nice. On a totally separate note, is your M5 an E39 or E60?

Ms, in general, are one of my favorite cars on the road.

It's a 2003 E39. I have yet to get used to the E60 style.

Thanks,

Nice - the E39 is a timeless design.

At first I wasn't a huge fan of the new body style either, but it has grown on me, and there is just something about the V10 that makes it all that much sweeter. But I have to admit, if I was in the market for an E60, I'd probably go the 535 route - the new twin turbo six is just an amazing engine.

I'll stop hijacking your thread now

lol, np, just make sure you outfit it with an oil cooler if it doesn't have one.

I agree that the twin turbo 6 is an amazing engine. My 335 sings to me every morning when I fire it up.

Back on topic, this is good news about Akebono. I had their pads on the TL I used to own and loved em.
