I got the Bosche pads. I think they were in a higher category than daily but the front+back together ended up being cheaper then other brands I was looking at. Just make sure you get ones clearly labeled front or back, and Japan built.

I got BREMBO rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads, happy with the purchase.
I'll echo the sentiment here and say Bosch Icons. 100% worth every penny, they work great and last a long time for me. I live in Washington where it rains a lot and it's one of the most worthwhile investments for a car.
Bosch Icons!
Just rebought a pair last week. They last for years!
I have used the Bosch icons and liked them.
I got the upscale Bosch ones a few months ago, don't remember what the model name is, but they have been a game changer. They even scrape bird poop off, I have to roll down the intermittent all the time because the windshield needs a second to moisturize.
if you want to save a bit and still want some quality get bosch plugs those are good too, I’ve used them before and they were pretty good as well.
I went with OE ignition coils and bosch spark plugs and the misfire went away for a couple days but came back on my drive to school.
I just replaced the pads (Bosch BE1633H) and rotors (Textar 5Q0615301G) on my MK7 R, and after torqueing everything I noticed a clunk when rolling up and down my driveway (happened only when going from forward to reverse or vice versa). I jacked the car up, took the wheels off, and checked all the bolts, everything was tight and torqued to spec. I then noticed that the brake pad itself is shifting.
I when my original alternator failed in my 540i/6, the replacement rebuilt Bosch unit would produce 13.5-13.7v for a while after the car had warmed up, then would gradually fall to less than battery voltage. Running the A/C and revving the engine at stoplights would keep the battery light from flickering, but eventually, it would show full symptoms of a dead charging system.
