Indeed.
The indy I go to won't install parts from ECS/pelician/etc. No OEM, only OE (as in from a BMW dealer like getbmwparts or bmwpartsstore) because he's tired of having issues with the parts and having his labor blamed for it. They're cheaper for a reason. Sometime they work flawlessly and you get a good deal. Other times there's an issue.
