The better quality ones from GSF are OK, they last well, but make sure they are the better ones, as the alternatives are rubbish!!!

BMW ones are about £30 each.

Yes, ask for the better quality ones, they 'should' know what you mean!!

On the website, the part has the letters (BQ) after the description, part number is B48155.

Should have said, where GSF sell a cheaper alternative, the part number will be identical, but will be followed bay the letter A.

I had the BQ drop links from GSF on my red car and those lasted for two years and didnt seem to be worn at all.

??!

Andy just said that he hasn't had any problems with the BQ ones from GSF!

So, assuming poor student...

2x crap from GSF = £16

2x good from GSF = £21

2x BMW parts = £60

I think the answer is obvious!
