My 52plate 330ci Sport needs front discs and pads, been phoning round and getting conflicting information, Euro Car Parts saying OE discs and pads are ATE and GSF saying texstar are the OE fit, not much difference in price

Any recommendations?

Cheers smile

I'd get them from the dealer (with the 4+ discount)

Your brake system is Teves, part of Continental, which includes ATE.
Mintex/Textar/Pagid - all part of TMD Friction, and it was their online catalogue which confirmed it.
Disc size as per linky

Just bought some Ferodo OE spec ones, and the "paperwork" inside the box had Brembo printed on it.
Not sure where ATE get their from, assuming not produced by themselves directly.

Anyway, if you fancy going with Ferodo, the part number is DDF1174 - should be able to find them at a local motor factor.

Thanks for the replies, picked up and fitted the brakes Saturday morning.

Went for Brembo discs and Texstar pads in the end(£140 incl new wear sensor), both claimed to be OE supplied, the Brembo discs seem like quality parts the centre hub and vents are painted to stop corrison, so far so good smile
