For pads I used Textar, which also is a german OEM supplier to BMW. Finished the job just today and it all works quite well after a 4 stop bedding.

Although I used an aftermarket brake pad sensor and it isn't resetting - Bentley said to hold key on ACC for 30sec which I did but either didn't clear the code, or the new sensor isn't working properly.
Congrats on the break job...

It says OEM specs right on the box. OEM is OEM... bought my last pads and rotors at Pep Boys they lasted 39,500 miles before the senser went off 2 days ago and my rotors hardly have any wear.
