Arrow Brake Pad Advice & Installation

I'm not sure if this is normal but I suspect it is down to driving style! I've grinded down all 4 pads on my M4 Comp X Drive in 10.5K Miles (Road only no track)!

I can hear a hideous squeaking noise every time I brake so now is the time to get some new pads...

Can anoyone advise on which pads are best for an M4? BMW will charge me over £1,100 for pads all round which is scandalous! There is no brake pad monitor/sensor or on this M4 which is weird as I had brake pad warnings on my M2 & M135i; so I don't think it will matter if I get a local, cheaper dealer to fit the pads - Any thoughts on this would be appreciated .

Thanks
David

Even new pads make noise, that doesn't mean they're worn down.

There is a sensor, did you even check how much brake pad material is left or are you just going by "its making noise so i need new pads"?

Haha yes I did and they're worn, not completely but getting there that's for certain.

Re sensor, just surprised there is no mention of pads on the iDrive under Vehicle Status, unless I am missing something.
