E46 330i Rad and water pump - recommended brands?

[stevewak]

Hi, as title. Thinking of preventative maintenance before the summer - 2002 Auto Touring SE, 96k. Have already had belts, idler pulley and thermostat done with BMW parts. OEM BMW rad is big money but looks like coming with ancillary stuff. Pumps look cheap.

Any other parts at the same time? Presume bottom hose. Not mechanical, but will get OK garage to do it and don't want rubbish parts. Thanks.
