I'm about to purchase parts from BMA for a suspension rebuild on my 535i and while I'll be buying Lemfoerder for upper and lower arms etc. I can only find the sway bar links and rear dogbones on offer from Ocap & Meyle.

Are these okay or not? In fact who is the OEM supplier of these parts?

As far as the steering linkages are concerned I believe TRW is OEM... YES?/NO? - TIA

I asked the same thing a couple days ago and was told to call BMA. They have the lemforder sway links, just not listed on their site. I havent called to order them yet so I cant say for sure. Probably do that today. Peeps on the boards said do NOT get anything other than the lemforder links or else I'd be sorry.

Sway bar links and rear dogbones are availble in Lemforder, you just have to ask and they are more expensive than the Meyle brand. I'm running them for a year now without any troubles. For the steering linkages I bought TRW track rod and everything else was Lemforder - thts what Patrick suggested.
