Would you go the BMW for your CAM Shaft for Ԛ£250.00 or German Swedish at Ԛ£67.50?

Big difference?

I replaced mine with a gsf cam an dit's bsolutely fine. The only thing that concerned me was that the oem.com quoted about 3 part numbers for BMW M20b25 cams and GSF only do one. Still ,as I say, mines fine (when the bast4rd car can stay reliable for long enough for me to actuallty drive it)
