Rational thought is the cumgrudgen of creative minds. We here at Funf Dreisig AG don't let such thoughts enter our pretty little heads while developing innovative cost effective solutions to life's little problems.
Besides some of us are stubborn Germans both in real life and on the net. So the very idea that BMW would leave out a vital part in order to save $67.26 - IOW less than 0.11666% - on the sale of a roughly $60,000 vehicle gets our lederhausen in a twist.
Now that we have put all that time/effort into R&D and testing a very workable solution, I wouldn't even consider buying the OEM strut. Besides it's going to be a constant source of enjoyment for me to show off the Funf Dreisig AG Cargo Bay Prop for Dummies special edition, emblazoned with the BMW slogan - "Saving .11666% was worth making this guy really, really mad".
