I've got the Meyle ones on my car, as sourced through Bimmerworld.

they are the same price as factory part, are they better?

99% sure M and 3.0 are different parts. Check realoem.com to confirm. Also check Turner for options.

yes they are different, the site karacticus suggested has the M version for $299 with is the same as OEM part. Is the aftermarket part better?

I've just replaced mine with OEM. The M and the 3.0 are infact different. You can fit ZHP arms according to turner but they're really expensive and require beefier bushings. Meyle HD has replacement ball joints which is convenient instead of replacing the whole arm when they fail

I opted for OEM also, mine was broken tho
