2032 fit fine in mine as well. I noticed the remote lock button was not working from more than a few car lengths when cold and decided it was time before I ran into other issues.

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.
I just did brakes on my 2017 330. I got Brembo rotors, and Akebono pads. They're excellent brakes, akebono pads are highly recommended, and Brmebo holds its own.
I just changed them out for zimmerman blanks and akebono pads. I will likely do the same for the front to decrease some of the dust as well. Slightly less initial bite on the pads, but still good brake feel.
I had Akebono ceramics on my first GX, have OEM on my current ride. OEMs may offer a slightly better pedal feel but are much dustier (Akebono didn't dust at all). No real difference in stopping power, so overall it's probably a wash.
I used to get Akebono pads for my SLK32 from RockAuto.com . Their prices were reasonable and shipping within the US was reasonable.
I have changed my own pads and rotors. It’s a relatively easy job when you got the tools. Try and get akebono pads. They are ceramic pads which means clean wheel with no black dust and they dont chew on the rotors.
Akebono if you don't want to wash your wheels every few days. Plus they last forever.
Akebono. Soooo much less dust than others.
Bought some Akebono Ultra pads and wheels look great all the time! Didn't notice any drop off in performance
