OE 31122284530 — BMW Suspension Parts Control Arm for Bmw

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

OEM means the part was produced for the vehicle maker's assembly line; aftermarket means it is made independently to the same engineering drawing. For a bmw suspension parts control arm the practical gap is usually tooling age and packaging rather than fit, provided the tolerance class matches.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Start from the code cast or printed on the part you are removing — that is the authoritative source. If it is illegible, use the Applications table on the closest suspension, steering & brake reference and narrow by build year. Send photos and we will cross-check the number for you.

Export packing is a neutral carton with inner protection; custom labels, barcodes and box specifications are available for volume orders. Shipments move FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP terms negotiable.

Position depends on the platform. On most Bmw applications the bmw suspension parts control arm sits on the suspension, steering & brake assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.
