1. OE from BMW
2. Lemforeder
3. Anything else FCP sells because of lifetime warranty
4. anything else
So if FCP sells it, then you are good. I place quality order with this list.Alex 88 m5 | 91 318is | 19 Subaru Ascent

From the FCP return FAQ page- Does this really include every part you sell?
Yes, our lifetime replacement covers every single part we sell, including wear-and-tear items like brake pads, spark plugs, gaskets, rotors, filters, belts, wiper blades, etc. This covers every part across every brand, including OE, OEM, genuine, performance, aftermarket, and re-manufactured parts.

I think they would. A bunch of things that people have returned, included used engine oil.... https://www.instagram.com/fcpeurolrg/

No. You can't return installed parts for reimbursement.
If the brake pads fail, I would have to buy exactly the same pads from them first. Then, write them a letter asking for a favor of replacement. Then pay $10 to ship the pads.
That's not what I would do. I would buy a different brand from a different place.

FCP is not good about original BMW parts. It sent me wrong parts, some were without labels.

Regarding the Febi part mentioned in the OP, I have used Febi parts with no problem on my Bimmers, but not control arms. I don't know the price difference between Lemforder and Febi, but if you need the savings, Febi is probably better than
typical "bargain" brands.1992 325i Cabrio

I know people who bought Sachs strut mounts from FCP that were loose. They had to buy the same Sachs strut mounts that were slightly better, and only then return the original ones for replacement.
I would just buy a different brand.
