Has anyone ever bought parts, specifically suspension parts from this company on Ebay, They go by foreigncarpartsonline. I intend to replace my entire front suspension.

Go with BMA; You're assured of the quality and the great service. I just did the same.

Why not just buy from BMA where you'll get great prices and terrific service?

I used them to replace my front end stuff, found them on the internet, great prices on thier control arms/thrust arms, but, the ball joint boots have torn, already. I agree with everyone else, buy from BMA, it may cost you more, but you could be like me and need to replace the stuff again in only 2 yrs.

I bought front end parts from them twice, for my '89 535i and my '90 535i. I also bought an AC condensor for my car and parts for my son's '84 325e. I have been very satisfied so far. The prices were good (with 750i bushings installed on the thrust arms) and the shipping was very fast. I can't speak for the long term, as both of the front end purchases were within the past 6 months.

How is a torn ball joint boot, 2 years after the fact, BMA's fault? BMA sells the same stuff anyone else does, or better....

I bought the stuff from FCP Groton, not BMA, I wish I had bought Lemforder from BMA then maybe I wouldn't need to replace already.

...so reverse that...How's a torn ball joint, two years after the fact, FCP's fault?

FCP sell TRW replacement part. TRW manufactured BMW OEM parts, like the tie-rods on my 540. (The boots on those tie rods are starting to crack, after about 10.5 years).

Simply stating what experience I have had with thier products. I don't know if stock or any other would have been any better. Just that I got all my front end parts and they were better priced and had very quick shipping. I never blamed anybody for the joint tearing, it was probably my fault for driving too hard. I was simply stating the fact that I have had some tears in the ball joint boots since I replaced them with thier parts, that is what the original question was wasn't it? Anyway, like I said, I will go with BMA on these parts next time and see which is better.

I bought from them all the time with my old fleet of Volvos. TRW brand was the OEM replacement as well and never had a problem.

Appreciate the inputs, especially 50 Fiver. My decision is to go with BMA. They are in Glendale, bout 20 mins from my home. I'll just go to their store and purchase them off their counter
