Which year/model did the R56 front brakes come from?

I'm trying to find replacement pads for my mini, I've upgraded the front brakes to the r56 STD set.

I remember reading somewhere that they were the same as a particular BMW model brakes?

In Australia, it's really difficult to find mini replacements. The dealers are quoting $200 for pads alone. I'm trying to work out if there is a corresponding bmw part that is more available....

Any help would be appreciated

The front setup on the R56 is the same as the JCW brakes in the JCW kit installed at the dealer and the JCW setup installed at the factory on the R53 model.
