Help!!! Ordered BMW Tensioner and received this....
 

Update: Found out this is a OEM part.

So what's the problem?

He ordered what he thought was Original Teile & got oem adjacent?

I ordered this part off of eBay and the listing said ''Genuine BMW Tensioner" So I was expecting to see a white box with a BMW sticker on it with '' 1 Stück "

I get this white and green box with Made in Slovakia on it. I thought it was a cheap aftermarket part so I kind of got spooked. Wasn't familiar with INA - Schaeffler Group USA Inc. Turns out that this is a OEM part. Wondering if this is the same part that is currently in my X....

Can anyone verify ?

If you want Genuine BMW parts you need to order it from a BMW dealer, not off of eBay.

Don't have a problem if it's not genuine since it's from INA which makes the exact tensioner as BMW

:thumbup:

There are quite a few manufacturers that provide "OE" parts for our cars. Bmw actually manufacturers very little when it comes to bolt on parts. Your tensioner is legit.

Yeah for a second I thought it was aftermarket. . . . Good info didn't know they had so many OE parts. Next time I wont be so surprised.

INA makes the OE tensioners, it's a good part.

^ditto

Good to know. With all the possible non OE junk out there and the fact many parts are contracted out if it doesn't come in the white box, it's scary.
