New tires today found torn CV boot

Indy sugested I replace the entire shaft as dirt and road "stuff" have already invaded the exposed joint. Made sense to me but wanted to consult the folks on the board. Also, he suggested an aftermarket shaft/joint, $129 versus OEM BMW for $469. He said warranty is the same for both parts only difference is the aftermarket part is refurbished BMW part. What say you??
Also, there is no clicking or any other indication that the current joint has gone bad. Price out the door for entire shaft assembly $345.

Thanks in advanve for reply/opnions
Mike
