If I order Arnott spring, one pair costs $200 plus around $50 shipping cost, total cost is $250, only $70 difference between oem and Arnott. In this case, I will rather lean to oem, unless the product quality of Arnott is much better than oem. Anyone can shed some light on this decision please?
With all those knock off products floating around in China and Hong Kong I would be a little wary of buying parts from a Non BMW official dealer.

At least the Arnott is assemble in the Good Old US of A.
