Aftermarket Parts

[Smudgemanuk]

Which aftermarket part maker do people trust?
Valeo?
Bilstein?
Bosch?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

How do their prices normally compare to BMW prices?

Thanks Chris

Any sensors get OEM (Bosch, Siemens Delphi )..Z3s are very sensitive to aftermarket/cheap stuff. Shocks..OEM were Sachs but Bilstein/Monroe are good. Always check with the dealer as somethings are often cheaper. Sopers BMW in Lincoln give us a club discount if you ask and will post no problem

Even OEM shopped around. As long as it's a trusted brand you should be fine. If it states made at the north pole it may be seasonal and not make it to summer.
