A bit expensive for the window regulator ... M-Speed quoted me RM400 inclusive labour for front window regulator.

Not sure about the control arm though ...

 

[guyfriendx]

yes. just realize the regulator is abit expensive. just to share the info for the benefit of other forumer .

If i'm not mistaken the shop said original .. is it cheap ? I'm still looking around for best price. Need to change both lower arms.

Whats the difference between Ori vs OEM?

Same item, one with BMW logo and one is not. Manufactured by the same company. Thats what I understand.

Whats the difference between Ori vs OEM?

Ori is 'granted' which passed QA, OEM just depends on your luck.

 

[Alex5522]

An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under the purchasing company's brand name.[1][2][3][4][5] OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product.

When referring to automotive parts, OEM designates a replacement part made by the manufacturer of the original part.[6]

SMG cars comes with M-Sport suspension as standard (for CKD version anyways ) hence the control arms will be more expensive

Did you buy just the bushings or does it come with the housing/bracket? If bushings only where did you had the bushings pressed?
