Brake pads/ disc for E46 320i - worth getting original BMW..

...parts, or good quality OEM ones? Or are they basically the same thing?

I'd like to save on costs as long quality and safety is not compromised.

Pagid or textar from eurocar parts will be fine, there may also be a promotion codes in circulation saving you even more.

The OEM part is made by either Jurid or Textar. It's half the price at GSF and is the same product without the logo on it.

As said above, I went for textar pads/brembo discs out of GSF. Just under £200 for discs and pads all round.

ThankS for the advice guys! No need to pay BMW prices then!

Steer clear from Zimmermann discs - they're definitely not OEM equivalent.
