Which plug wires?

I posted this over in the W215 forum, as I have a CL55, but figured I'd get more response over here due to the E class being way more popular. Which plug wires do you guys like? I had some parts in my cart at FCP Euro for a tune up and happened across some reviews on Bremi wires, I think from the BMW world, and they apparently don't have that strong positive click when connecting to the spark plug. What have you guys found when doing tune ups if you went with Bremis over a non-Bosch wire?

I chased a slight idle misfire on a c32 for way too long. I replaced injectors , all intake seals , plugs. It ended up being a wire that was slightly out of the resistance range. These engines seem to be extremely finicky, and I chose the stock wires.

I'm an advocate for OEM parts only and always for this sort of thing.

Bosch plug wires. Different part numbers depending upon installed location on the M113 motor. Four different lengths. See attachment for location.
