Stick to "Lemforder" , "Valeo", etc parts as they are (more often than not) one of the BMW OEM parts makers

Lemforder is OEM quality. Used a few bits on mine, tie rod ends, track rod ends etc. Know people who've used them for lower arms and they've been fine

.You are right though FAG make OE wheel bearing kits for BMW.

And Valeo are the OE suppliers of the Alternators,not that is anything to be proud of

Shimmy "mister auto " sell Lemforder items. I've just bought the rear anti roll bar stabilisers for £8 each. Where as I bought the front drop links for £21 each from Eurocarparts.
Don't forget the check for the constant pressure valve oil leak while your under there !
I've got to change my front prob coupling also. I can see a tear in mine. Eurocarparts sell Lemforder ones for £67 . Inspection 2 on mine is 2 years off. Can't find any DIY threads yet .

This is a interesting front coupling. No price though

Prop is very easy to remove. Hardest bit is exhaust depending when it was last removed

Looks a bit more purposeful rather than a rubber downut!
They appear to only sell through distributors, UK is 'Honda-R Ltd' in Abingdon (Honda performance parts)

Might be one for Adem to look into, buying direct?
