The new daily - E46 330i Touring

Many a time I have been tempted to go for a more economical option however the fear of Made in China overcomes my natural cheapskate state and revert to Agents as doing work twice gets my goat.

Yeah I am learning this lesson. Thankfully, FCP do state the country of origin, so I will buy OE parts made in Germany or other reputable countries (Slovakia, Turkey, Malaysia) but will avoid the Chinese ones.

I’ve read in the reviews for some parts that sometimes their listings aren’t entirely correct for country of manufacturer. I suspect they do their best to keep it up to date and accurate but sometimes it might change from Turkey to China before they’ve updated the listing

Its a risk I would be willing to take considering the cost saving - less than half price

I Always Check the Febi parts at Goldwagen. If its Made in Germany, Its usually the Original Parts with Logo scratched off.
After reading a post on E46Fanatics, i went and bought a Febi Exhaust Cam sensor to see if what i read is true. And Low and behold (you can see BMW logo Scratched off):



But i see allot of Febi stuff now changed to Made in Chine
