Not 100% certain but rotors are probably ATE.

Pads are Jurids and/or Textars from what I've seen...

You can get those parts at a whole bunch of places:
- dealer parts depts
- mail order BMW places (e.g., Bav Auto, Turner, HMS Motorsport, etc etc etc...)

Brembo also makes a line of OEM direct replacement of same quality (or higher) rotors replacements depending on the model of BMW :

Zimmerman is another OEM rotor company. I seem to remember a discussion a while back regarding this issue and Brembo, Zimmerman and one other company was mentioned.

My independant shop installed Zimmerman OE rotors and they work very well.

You can do better on pricing from eap4parts.com or a mail order parts house such as Pacific BMW or Circle BMW.

And you are MUCH better off NOT using OEM pads.

Mintex red box (Bav Auto) or Axxis Deluxe, Deluxe Plus are much nicer, MUCH less dust.
