[QUOTE="tallfreak, post: 11764520, member: 70717"] I am a BMW technician and I have never seen any aftermarket pads or rotors that do not squeal or rattle. Go with OEM parts. They are more expensive but they are great parts. As mentioned before, you will need pads, rotors, and sensors. 2004 3 series doesn't have thrust rods like most BMWs, but would be willing to bet the shop meant control arm bushings for the front lower control arms. They tend to last around 90K miles. When they wear out they have the same symptoms of thrust rod bushings. The most noticeable symptom is 10mph and under feeling a clunk in the front of the car and the steering wheel when on and off the brake. We haven't had good luck with some aftermarket control arm bushings either. You can look up part numbers on realoem.com [/QUOTE]
