1. Be VERY careful with counterfeit parts on ebay (and vurtually ALL other sources)... it is a very large issue with plugs, injectors nd O2 sensors


Google it.


They copy the part, label it with Bosch, copy the yellow Bosch box and packaging..... some very prominent companies have been fooled into selling these copies.



I dont buy any car parts on ebay.





2. Lower control arm bushes - aka Thrust Arm bushings are very very common failure points on BMWs. However the classic symptoms is 45-60mph, at light training braking, you get a juddering. YMMV. Good news is that yours prolly need it anyway, so not a waste of $. Yes you can press out bushes- but I would only do that once on an arm. for future references.
