OEM Brakes

[Mitchen]

Guys

Does anyone know where I can get the OEM brake discs and pads from? (other than the rip off merchants at BMW)

Obviously a search of ebay just comes up with thousands of after market products, and I'm trying to keep mine as original as possible.

Pagid from Euro car parts or car parts 4 less, just type your reg into their websites.

Has anybody noticed a drop in quality of the Pagid since the big deal with ECP?
I fitted Pagid disks and pads to my daily and im surprised there is any pad left due to the amount of brake dust produced

I use Brembo discs bought from my local GSF.

Pads these days are Greenstuff,sourced online.

Who is your online source Malc'?

Have PAGID discs/pads from ECP - no probs in regular daily use

I google 'greenstuff' and buy from the cheapest option!

If you are struggling to source this sort of thing local to you,let me know.

I've only found 1 UK supplier that will ship internationally and that's the ebc website. 110 quid delivered, is that a good price for front and rear?

I saw some green stuff pads on ebay.. are they any good? I know they're EBC but you never know.

I didn't realise europarts done the OEM stuff, thought they were only good for budget equivalents!

So BMW supply Pagid products?, surprising as they seem to be one of the cheapest lines out there.

Yes. Pagid are a good quality brand anyway.

Better than green stuff?

Most pad manufacturers have two lines - OEM/road and performance.

So OEM / motor factor stuff like Pagid from ECP is often less than 10% of the cost of the pads that get them their original reputation (Pagid fun-compound pads for WMS calipers were over £200+vat last time I looked).

Ferodo are the same, Mintex too. EBC sort of do this - their "OEM" compound is blackstuff.

I personally really didn't like EBC Green from cold, I found Redstuff was better - but that was a while ago to be fair.

I do hear a lot of people that like OEM Pagid stuff though!

CP4L I prefer ATE pads.
