I changed the pads on the E90 I use to have. About 2 years ago and the only aftermarket pads I could get was safeline. From auto zone , midas said agents only and. The ones I could have got from autozone were out of stock only front were available so I ended up buying at the stealer as it was getting down to the metal . I don't know what make they were but they were branded bmw. Even on the pads made in germany I paid R1200 front and R900 back. The sensors were R270 for the set I think there was about R250 difference in the price from autozone and stealers. I would rather get the original bmw pads for the extra R250 rand at the time.

On one of my past cars a 1.8T passat I went to vw. Vw pads with a ate logo in a vw box R800 . Went to goldwagen. Ate pads in a ate box R 380. WTF ?
