Hi Simon (and welcome to TM!)

When I got my Aero (Series 1) , it had new front pads fitted but they made a real racket - squealing like a stuck pig!

From memory, I changed them to EBC Red Stuff pads.

The Ref. was DP3036C,2000-2004 Yr. - they were approx. £90 plus - I don't know if these will fit a Series 4, but I'm sure EBC will have others.....?

I think the 'feel' of the brakes was improved, albeit not massively.The noise was certainly a lot less! A side benefit was that there is now hardly ever any brake dust on the wheels.....

Plus,I think Simon at SiFab also has Mintex pads available.....
