What brand is Incomex offering? They usuallly stock Textar which is good. You can also check with Goldwagen for decent german brands like Febi etc.

Stay away from the Brembo (Doubt its the same quality as proper Brembo brakes) and Ferodo.

I called Centurion now they have Febi pads and Surebrake discs. No other discs, are Surebrakes good? I don't want the car to squeal that sound is soooo irritating 🙂

I would go for the Meyle Discs and Pagid pads from these

 

[KPM3_30]

Surebrake Discs and TRW pads will be perfect. Many mates have tried the same combination on a few different BMW models with only good things to say, going the same route on the X3 when it is time to do the brakes. No complaints of squealing or any other untoward results.

The Surebrake discs come coated (like OEM), so they don't show rust like most of the other aftermarket brands after getting wet.

I had this combo on the rear of my 330d and had zero issues with it
