I'll call a few places before ordering, just wanted to know if there were so other options. My car is a lease so as long as the sensors work and they won't wear out under normal driving in 20k miles.
Edit: I've got quotes from $150-450(BMW dealer) for install. I don't really feel comfortable changing them myself even though it looks relatively simply.

It's actually quite easy to change the pads. Only took me about half an hour. In a nut shell, you just have to remove the 2 pins and the pads just slide out. With a 4 post lift, the pad swap would probably take 20 min or less. But I understand the trepidation.
