Yeah, as long as you get the right part. Most BMW people will call it a tension arm/strut as pointed out. Different sources call it different names, which is why I try to go by the part number.
BigBody mentioned Meyle HD. I have used Meyle HD without issue in many applications, including the tension arm. I also echo is recommendation to doing a complete arm and I wouldn't get an alignment personally, were I to have to replace JUST the tension arm.
