Same pad - different material. HH's are sintered material - hard, wears out disks, stops better. Non HH is 'plain organic' - softer, doesn't wear discs as bad, stops ok. IMO as a biker pads are cheap compared to discs - both materials wear about the same but I don't consider discs to be consumables.

Just looked and the bmw ones have 2 holes and yours only 1 hole. Funny how the same caliper make is drilled different.
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

I'm with you on that one, set of pads for the bike rear disc £20 new disc £157, i always use the softer pads and never had to buy discs, what really winds me up is a pair of huge vented discs for the car are only £68 a pair and they usually last 100,000 miles.
