Not sure on OEM but you can't go far wrong with Beru

I was looking at either bosch or denso. Although after discussing it with one of guys at work he burned through a set of bosch ones fairly quickly and replaced them with denso ones that cost half as much and never went wrong.

Bosch, NGK, or do it again within a few months......
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Cheers Jasper,
Easy choice then, any tips for getting the old ones out in one piece?

soak the threads in WD40 overnight and for a couple of days before you do the job.
