My car (BMW E93 335 2008) needs those parts according to my garage, I am planning to buy most of them as OEM from FCP euro,

Part numbers
34116794917
34356789440
31126763719
31306775098
22116760330
22116773744
22316799331

Do I need to get any of those parts as genuine or there is no need?

Also where can I find those parts as OEM? (I think it will save me some good money)

31122405859 Front Left Rearward Control Arm w/ Bushing
31122405860 Front right Control Arm w/ Bushing

Thanks

The Lemforder for sure. Avoid Mahle but I've been using Lemforder parts for decades and in most cases you even have the flat spot there they would stamp the BMW logo, just blank.

Bowa is fine but don't recognize the brands for the other.

Even if you don't end up buying from them I like pelican parts for at least identifying the OEM supplier

Textar makes great pads, many times they are OEM

Any part with the OE label on FCP euro is like that. It's literally the same part BMW Genuine uses, except with the BMW logo.

OEM labelled basically aftermarket partd. They don't make that specific part for BMW but they do others.

All of those are fine.

Thank you all, you've been helpful as always.

Mahle is another OE supplier. They are reputable.

Why did you buy two front pad wear sensors?

Still didn't buy them, I thought I need one for each side!

Waiting to know where I shall buy those as OEM/OE instead of genuine;

There is only one brake pad wear sensor in the front, on the left side.

Lemforder is excellent quality for suspension parts. On fcpeuro.com, I only see Genuine BMW and no other brands for your part numbers and they were backordered. Here they are on ecstuning.com.

Thanks

I bought it from ECS tuning because I didn't see your update, but it felt like a bit a fishy site

Price of each arm was $2 more expensive than FCP euro, then they wanted to charge $60 for shipping to Florida, USA.

Then I had to ask for a price match on chat and they said, complete the order and we will deduct the same price as FCP euro.

Are they always weird like that? they don't have lifetime warranty like FCP, how are they getting away with charging more and crazy shipping fees with a cheap looking website?

There's a whole different thread on ECS and the problems people had. Not too many happy campers after they acquired Pelican Parts. I've never had issues with them but people have. They have replaced one of my wheel lock keys that got stripped without question.

I just completed a purchase from there!

I hope it goes well then I am back to my trusty FCP Euro, never heard about the horror stories.

From the design, it felt like a company fishy company, first impressions matter.
