Original bmw vs OEM

[QUKBMER]

Blunttech for me on almost everything. I use Meyle for suspension bits that GC does not make. I also spend the bit extra and buy the better OE parts like: Lemfoerder, Goetze, Meyle. I forgot what brand wheel bearings I use.

SKF or FAG brand is great.

this thread is full of fail


but pretty much what I expected..........


carry on.

lol to worrying about having a BMW sticker or stamp on a part, even if it is the exact same part from the OEM

BMW may make more parts/components than other car companies might, but they primarily focus on design and assembly of the cars not producing every single component, especially maintenance items on 2 decade old cars. Even formerly in-house parts are generally subcontracted when out of production

I only use original Ferrari parts on my car. Gotta love the side skirts especially.

Damnit....I was just coming here to say I got all my parts at the VW place down the street.

so OP, you're saying that you only want to use bmw branded parts because your worn out suspension components have gone 150K miles past when they should have been changed and you haven't died?

...i dont get it.

yeah, i just thought i'd try to put some logic to his idea. i doubt anything good will come from this though...


and worldpac is pretty sweet for parts. order them by 3pm and have them delivered to the shop well before closing. now that i've got this mechanic job i wont have to pay the middleman fee for a while.

Blunttech for 90%, Pelican and few other assorted vendors for the rest.

OEM is fine with me, it doesn't have to be a BMW part.
