Ok I'm reviving this old thread because I can't seem to find any resolution the spongy brake issue with the X3.

I think it's the brake pad compound....both my wife and I are used to our previous SAVs braking feel (2004 X5 3.0 Sport). The key difference is the initial bite.

I've looked around online and the best choice seems to be the Hawk HP Plus. The Hawk HP Street (HPS) reviews were mixed. The issue here, however, is that the HP Plus might be too aggressive for street use.

Any real world solutions?
