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)

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

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