No, ceramic pads don't last longer, they wear out just about the
same rate as conventional pads, but they are quiet , don't dust and offer better performance. I have had to replace them on a couple of cars i've done so far.

Unless you autocross, just get stock OEM rotors. Drilled or slotted pads give you bragging rights and not much else on the street. They will not cool any faster, cooling is done via the fins, the slots are to allow gases to pass off easier, not something that is an issue on the street or with most modern pads. Save your money for something else, The e34 already has fantastic brakeing, drilled rotors are a waste of money IMO.
I do not like the feel of ceramic pads, so I use organic pads. I am a very aggressive driver and I am quite happy with the performance of my brakes. If you want to upgrade your brakes, look into using the 540i setup, it bolts right up and will cost alot less, and give yuo better brakeing than drilled rotors and then you will also have no issue getting replacement parts.
