Wow, I wished I would have known this before swapping out my front brakes and rear rotors with non OEM parts. Even though it's been over
2 years with
zero problems I feel better now knowing that they will never be as good as OEM parts
Seriously though, what do you tell all those 135i owners with cracked pistons in their OEM calipers? Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking BMW oem is not fallible or that you can't get equal or better performance from the right aftermarket parts.
People go cheap and then try and throw all aftermarket parts into the same bucket because of that experience. Being smart and doing your research can yield you good parts and saved money.
