I bought the Zimmerman/Akebono kit when the E92 needed front brakes. I'm amazed how brake dust has been nearly eliminated and it has good bite.

Pros: reduced brake dust, good bite
Vehicle: BMW

Looking at the choices available for yours, good pads that won't break a budget I'd go with Bosch QuietCast.

I've got the Bosch on my Ghost and completely agree. It's an amazing setup. I've got 8000km on mine and it rides like new whenever I change the pads and lube it. I look forward to my commute every day.

Pros: amazing setup, rides like new
Mileage: 8000 km

Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?

Part number: BC1456

I replaced my brake pads front and rear today with some good quality Ceramic pads. I had just done the fronts a couple months ago but I used some Bosch pads that one of the parts suppliers gave me to try. They were supposed to be their best. They were quiet and smooth but produced crazy dust!

Pros: quiet, smooth
Cons: crazy dust

I just replaced the pads (Bosch BE1633H) and rotors (Textar 5Q0615301G) on my MK7 R, and after torqueing everything I noticed a clunk when rolling up and down my driveway (happened only when going from forward to reverse or vice versa). I jacked the car up, took the wheels off, and checked all the bolts, everything was tight and torqued to spec. I then noticed that the brake pad itself is shifting.

Cons: clunking noise, shifting brake pads
Part number: BOSCH BE1633H
