You probably heard about the golden rule of brake pads, you can only choose 2 out of the three characteristics: noise, dust, bite.
The Hawk 5.0's are a great compromise pad, with a tiny amount more dust than OEM, but they are silent, and offer a greater bite. I really like them so far, and my 2-ton F25 X3 now stops like a proper BMW vehicle...

Coming back to this after a while.
The DS2500s are good stoppers, however as you say its' one of three and it's the noise which isn't the best.
I'm still looking for decent pads available in the UK as I can't swap the calipers because the 17" wheels I use won't fit.
