    Josh, you're correct -- the OEM/BMW part has TRW bushings in it. I'm not sure what the thing on my car has on it, but they look different (from what I can remember -- haven't pulled the part yet because I've been dealing with a %$#@in' toyota).

    But yes, Patrick is right -- OEM is TRW. I am wrong.

    More to come once I figure out what's currently on the car.

    best, whit
