URO brand parts ok?

I need to replace my driveshaft center support, and this URO brand part is significantly cheaper than the OEM. It's concerning it's so cheap though. Has anyone had experience either way with this?

I found a post on another forum with some negative things about MTC brand parts, so I'm only considering URO or OEM.

for reference, URO: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-328...fts/ES2709530/
OEM: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-328...hafts/ES48626/

Thanks,
Simon

Have had issues with their parts on my E30's. They don't fit corretly, seemed to be made of poor quality materials, etc... Will not buy Uro parts again.

I'd stay away from Uro, in this case I think you get what you pay for. They are significantly cheaper for a reason.

I've bought Mercedes parts which were URO, and although the quality wasn't the greatest, they fit fine and seemed good enough. I wouldn't worry too much, but wouldn't expect to get the same life as a OEM part.

I'll use Uro parts for minor things like brake wear sensors and caliper pin boots, but I buy higher quality if it's anything beyond that.

+1, minor stuff they are fine with, and a good way to go.
