What does OE BMW mean?
OE stands for Original Equipment – the parts that your vehicle was fitted with at the factory. Since they come from the original manufacturer, they are built to match your car’s design and operating standards. OE parts, while functional, might not be built to the same stringent standards as OEM parts. Their longevity can vary, and in some cases, you may notice that OE parts need replacing sooner than OEM parts.
What is the difference between OEM and genuine BMW?
An OEM provided parts to BMW directly, is familiar with the standards for quality and performance, and will often submit their products for independent TUV or ISO quality approvals. OEM parts are virtually identical to the Genuine without the inflated price tag. Bosch is one of the largest OEM producers of Genuine BMW and aftermarket parts in the world, providing parts for almost every major automotive manufacturer. Bosch has likely supplied many of the original electrical (and mechanical) parts for your BMW.
