Anyone running the OEM M2/3/4 pads on their M235?

I'll likely need new front pads soon for my M235 and was thinking maybe running the OEM M2/3/4 pads since those cars use the same calipers. Anyone tried them?

They are different OE part numbers but aftermarket pads, for the most part, are the same.

Did you end up finding anything on this? I'm curious about the dust with them vs the stock pads. I had picked out the Akebono pads to fix that problem, the trade off is those take a little more to heat up/brake well

Thanks.

What model and year M series pads did you use?

What did you notice that is different with the way the pads feel/operate?
