What a silly thing to complain about. You should be more upset about the expense of your original parts.
Your getting charged a premium for the name and not the quality. A US made product, you will pay more for because of the wages of all the uneducated non skilled labor demanding $30 an hour to stamp steel. And if you've ever talked to a human you know that most of then don't give a shit about the work they do. So you're original part costs 3 times what it should. And BMW is no better. Can't tell you how many parts I put on my car with the same part number as OEM but it lacked the BMW sticker and paid 50% less. |

For fun I rebuild Gibson electric guitars on the side. They're made in America and many of the parts are built overseas. So I buy them directly from overseas. One specific part Gibson charges $50 for a little piece of plastic, I buy it directly from China who actually make it for them and it costs me $5. Purists think it's a knock off because of where I get it from but it's the exact supplier as the OE uses. It's not always the case. At the end of the day It's up to the buyer to figure out what they're buying not the seller. Who's the sucker, the one buying or the one selling? |
