BMW vs OEM (Bosch) fuel injectors

Genuine BMW fuel injector $296.52 each
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/13648625397/


Bosch S55 fuel injector $95.80 each
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bosch-pa...648625397~bos/


Has anyone used the OEM Bosch injectors for S55 before? at 1/3 the price of Genuine BMW it's very tempting.

Is it the exact same part rebranded as BMW?

good question. I can't believe the price difference is that much.

It's the same thing. OEM gets a BMW stamp and the high price. I've installed both and they're identical except for the logo. My F80 has one Bosch and five OEM, no probs at all.

There is now 6 new Bosch injectors in my S55. Works find now. It was not so hard to do, take 4 - 5 hours.
