Well we can disregard my issue.. decided to give it another try this morning and they slipped right on properly. Amazing what a good night's sleep will do.

I am glad I found this! I had a Corolla with ceramic pads on, 215K miles I finally replaced them (still had some life left too!). First thing I thought of when I had to clean my rims every few days was "I wonder how ceramics would do on my 330i". Good info!

Ditto the OP. I put these on the front about 8 months ago. Love 'em. Love having clean(er) wheels too!
Are the ceramic pads harsher on the rotors? I am thinking of going ceramic on my fronts but I have BMW perf. rotors and I want them to last as long as possible!

Thanks for the recommendation. I love the brake pads on my car, except for the dust. Sounds like you get the best of both world with these. I have them on my to do list at 75,000 miles.

I'm running Aebono Ceramics with cross drilled and slotted rotors on my 03 Altima 3.5 SE. I've had really good luck with them. On my e46 I'm running Cool Carbons.

I put these on my e36 and love them. When the ZHP needs new pads I will definitely replace with these. I agree that they have as good or better bite than OEM.
