2. I can't say but I thought the counterweights are for reducing squealing and vibration, I don't think they'd have other noticeable effects.
3. Yes, the pads don't have anti-rattle shims and are a bit looser so they will clunk the first time the brakes are applied after any change of direction. It is the pad literally sliding to the top or bottom of the caliper.
4. They wouldn't come with the sensors, sensors are usually bought separate to the pads (usually pretty inexpensive). HP Autosport or anyone that has the DS2500 would need to confirm whether the pads have the cut out for the sensor to slot into.

Thanks for the reply.
Ad 1. My BMW Service Center did the swap and they said they secured them so I thought they attached them to something.
I just checked the stock brake pads an there are 2 sensors attached to them (1 front 1 rear) so maybe they removed them entirely? I dunno how it's exactly set up there. Should these be removed from pads, connected to the socket and then secured?
I have red brake check light on and prompt to set up a visit in a nearby service centre each time I start the car + 2 alerts about front/rear brake pads to be changed.
