I wouldn't feel bad about febi especially for rear door but with any non bmw part I would make close comparisons: I've had to grind down springs that stick out too far and swap badly made cables. Also speaking of cables it's the same DHC front or back door only the cable is different so if you can only find "front" or "back" but need the other (or the price is way more for the opposite, you can almost always use the original cable especially if you don't live on an ocean or in the rust belt).

Having a good look at the original coming out and having a file or angle handy to find tune any factory defects that will interfere can make a decent 3rd party work perfectly fine and save some $ for next event)
