or will 318 ones fit?
also will a steering pump off a 316i fit a 318is engine?

I personally dislike green stuff, take a while to warm up then overheat in the next instant. I've never heard any good reviews of them. Reds on the other hand have much more favourable reviews.

had nothing but fun (trouble?)with the last set of green stuff i had on the mini, made poor brakes into frightening lottery ones.
you were better off tossing a coin to predict if the car would stop.
same issue as above, cold cold cold cold working hot hot hot working cold cold cold.
wont go near them again till its proven otherwise.
i stick with genuine ap ones, ferodo or mintex now.

I run the yellow stuff. I really rate them, better than the mintex I was previously using.

green pad are topping out just under 200bhp so they say, running a car around the 120bhp mark on them should be ok

not being funny, (mainly as your only in andover and could come and get me!) but you cant give a brake pad a hp rating, thats just bollocks.
a weight, a force or a speed rating maybe. but not a hp rating.

Appreciated by drivers of cars up to 200 BHP year 2009 sees the launch of the 9th version of EBC 2000 series Greenstuff which has once again pushed the performance barriers of organic friction materials. The latest version of Greenstuff is a deliberately softer compound to improve pedal feel on lighter cars at lower speeds. This resulted in a medium dust material with good lifetime and minimal rotor wear.
I'm assuming if you have over 200bhp they disintegrate immediately.
