I'm probably not going to go OEM BMW on this one. Looks like Febi, Bavarian Autosport, and URO are pretty common, good quality brands, all in a similar price range. I'm also seeing Continentals that claim to be made in Germany at a crazy cheap price ... super tempting, but also suspiciously inexpensive.

I'd welcome any advice on which brands to buy (or avoid) from those who have done this repair before me, which seems to be just about everybody. Thanks in advance. :-)
