Replacing the front brake pads, have a few questions

I'm gearing up to replace my front brake pads (and a worn sensor) on my '07 328xi and would appreciate some quick advice.

Firstly, am I correct in understanding that there are only two brake pad sensors on the vehicle: one in the front and one in the rear?

If so, will this suffice?

Second, I'm having a little trouble deciding on replacement pads. Does anyone have any experience with either Textar or Akebono pads? Here are the two sets I'm considering:

Akebono: http://www.amazon.com/Akebono-EUR106...ype=automotive

Textar:http://www.amazon.com/Textar-W0133-1...1&s=automotive

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Go with akebono. They make a good reliable, inexpensive daily driver pad.

Thanks for the input. Do I need a sensor for each wheel or just 1?
