Pelicanparts.com has them. I got mine through a local authorized BMW Service Center. They specialize in used M5's. It's the "standard" pad they use and reccomend.

I would reccomend Akebono. really like them. To me the feel is the same as OEM, with almost no dust. Had them for about 1000 miles, front and rears.
About $70-$80 per set.
