All of these parts are built to meet original equipment specification for fitment as well as durability.

Thanks

They are OEM as stated in the listing, OEM means original equipment manufacutre, Which means they are made by the same company that makes them for bmw. In this case TRW. Yes they do include the bushing as well.

Hi Brendan,

The Original Equipemnt Part and the Aftermarket part are Completely Identical.

They are both produced by the same factory for TRW.

Regards TRW Aftermarket UK.
Ed: since making this thread, price has gone up by about $5?

$375 to $382.95

But shipping is $3 cheaper to australia (and free to USA) - so i guess it works out the same... Or close enough.. And shipping drops fast with multiple orders.
