Which Pads do I need?

Hey everyone. I bought these front brake pads from CARQUEST (Pics attached) but the mechanic said they're the wrong ones.

2017 bmw 530xi
Carquest part #: GNAD1867

Why doesn't it fit and what is the correct part # I need? (Can't afford OEM at the moment)

Really appreciate any help.

BMW Part Number: 34-11-6-883-470 Front Brake Pad for non M Sport brakes

But you will probably be more happy getting Akebono ceramic pads if you can find them for the front. I took a quick look and only saw them made for the rear of your car.

If as you say you really can't afford the $182 for OEM pads and want to take your chances on fitment, stopping performance, and longevity... then there are some cheap front pads on Tire Rack made by Centric - the Posi Quiet Ceramic Pads for about $91.
