It looks like the instructions are only for the rear brakes... I know the front brakes you have to unbolt them to remove the pads.

Just a “warning” that BMW did use traditional 18mm hex head bolts but those were replaced by an external/inverted torx (don’t know the right name) in late 2017 (my 2/18 build still has the 18mm bolts)
I don’t know what size the torx are - can’t find it anywhere. I did order a couple as replacements and will post the size after I get them if nobody beats me to it. For reference - it’s the same bolts for M2 and M2C http://www.fcpeuro.com/public/assets...31.?1563474076 |

Yes I did... they are performing very well. Not as much brake dust as the factory pads. I have noticed they are not as sensitive as the factory pads. I remember I would just touch the brakes and they would jerk. Don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly... Anyhow the ceramic pads feel more like normal brake pads, if you want to stop on a dime they will do the job...
What I recommend if anybody decides to go with the Hawk ceramic brake pads, on the front and rear transfer over the back pad cover plates that come on the factory pads. Some people didn't install the rear plates and they get a clunk sound when rolling forward or back. I will say the rear factory pads are glued on but a thin putty knife will do the job of removing them. |

Does anyone know the part number for the 18mm hex bolts? Realoem only shows the inverted torx ones (34106864424) and I'd rather not buy a special tool to torque those if I don't have to.

I picked up an inexpensive set of reverse torx sockets on Amazon. They're surprisingly handy, considering the number of them that BMW puts in odd places.

DIY guides seem 50/50 on whether the caliper bolts are truly one time use and need to be replaced or if they can be reused. What do people here think?

I've been reusing it. It'd be pretty stupid for BMW to design a caliper that needs new bolt everytime changing pads.

I ended up reusing them. When I removed them, they seemed very durable and certainly not single use.

Curious to hear some longer term reviews on these pads, now that more time has passed. The squealing and brake dust from my OEM pads are out of control. I've only got 10k miles on them but looking to change to something that's hopefully less noisy with less dust, without losing too much of that initial bite. My use is mostly weekend warrior with 1-2 annual track days.
