1. Aftermarket Brakes VS BMW OEM (I've read that aftermarket is cheaper and better performance than OEM)

2. If I decide to go for aftermarket, do the pads fit or do I need to replace calipers and rotors as well? (Recommended brands would be helpful... I'm looking at Cool Carbon but read that I need to replace the everything)

I won't be tracking this car as it is a family car but I'm looking for what's bang for bucks.

Thanks in advance.
There are a bunch of aftermarket pads available that fit stock calipers.
