OE and OEM parts come from the same manufacturers that produce the original factory Genuine parts for your vehicle.
For example, BMW doesn’t manufacture its own control arms — a company like Lemförder does. Lemförder produces the part and engraves the BMW logo during production.
By purchasing directly from Lemförder (instead of through a BMW dealership), you’re getting the exact same high-quality part — just without the BMW logo and at a lower cost.
That’s why we typically recommend the OE/OEM alternative — same performance, better value.
