[QUOTE="3er, post: 41483, member: 54"] Original BMW. Get from the local BMW dealer and ask to exclude VAT. 1. OEM means "made by xxx for BMW". If you buy BMW labeled parts its as original as it can be (assuming not imitation) no matter if you bought it from BMW themselves or some other parts dealer. Jurid makes pads for BMW and if you get pads labeled Jurid they are Jurid and not BMW. Compound and quality control may differ. 2. If its BMW labeled you wont go wrong. You MAY experience noisy screeching brakes if you go for non BMW parts. (I said MAY only - not always) 3. Yes - but do you really need x-drilled? Do you race frequently or have you suffered brake fade recently? 4. Brake disks and pads a bit heavy if you get a pair or two. Think about luggage and hauling that. I guess it depends on some parts. You might do well if VAT is not charged. I've bought some parts in UK before and they were cheaper but it was during the days when the exchange rate was more favourable last century and earlier this millenium. Not sure about now especially when its about 7.4x now due to the weak USD against the Euro. [/QUOTE]
