Hood and trunk lifts need replacement? Other than OEM, what are the options?

I found a Sachs P/N for the hood but I can't find anything for the trunk. The Sachs can be had for about $16 each on Amazon as opposed to almost $40 from the dealer or any other BMW parts dealer. Am I stuck with OEM for the trunk?

I would stick with OEM.
