We had the pads and rotors replaced recently at the dealership and it still feels the same.
I scoured the X3 forums and it was no help.
You happen to carry a lot of pad options for the X3. Is there a front pad that you'd recommend that will help the X3 brake better and feel better?
Thanks!

We have always found OE BMW pads to be very touchy. Many people complain that they bite too quick.
If you are looking for more initial bite, I would recommend the Hawk HPS,

I personally use these on all of my cars and have been very satisfied. I have found they have more initial bite than the factory pads and do not fade. (at least on the street). *At this point Hawk only builds this pad for the front of the vehicle.
