Default Z51 Front Brake Pads - Part #?

Anyone have a part # for the updated (beveled edge) Z51 front brake pads? I'm due for a replacement and want to make sure I don't end up with the original pads. Thanks.

I just had dealer install on my LMB Z51 because of squeal (11,000 miles) and after two weeks no squeal at all. Keep your fingers crossed.

Do note that the TSB recommends changing both the front and rear pads.

Any idea on Non Z51's with same groaning and squealing noise. Mine are terrible and the brake dust is bad after short drive to grocery store. The service dept. told me that the noise was normal. It's pretty bad to be driving the car of your dreams and at $50K+ to be embarrased when stopping at a red light.
