Please help! Are these oem rotors?

[muffinman92]

Hello,

I bought some rotors from AutohauzAZ, but when they came in there is no trace of a BMW mark on the box or parts. Are these oem or are they some aftermarket brand.

They might be OEM manufactured but they are not original BMW parts without a BMW mark. Look here:

In one of the pictures you can clearly see BMW stamped on the hat. And I don't recall ever receiving a BMW part without the name or logo somewhere on the part and box/labels.

Should I expect a different level of quality?

They are probably the exact same thing, just no stamp. On some plastic parts, you can see where the oem equivalent had the Bmw logo that was scratched off. This was true with my e46's coolant expansion tank.

You might notice decreased level of acceleration because of all the extra $ you saved vs oem weighing down your pockets

Unlikely. Some of the OEM suppliers simply turn around and sell the identical part without the BMW markings. This is very common with consumables like brakes, filters, gaskets, fluids, bulbs, etc.

As an FYI, that number on the sticker is actually a BMW part number.

When you went to autohauz, did the description specify GENUINE BMW? If not, then it won't have BMW markings.

Post more pictures out of the box, looks OEM honestly. How much did you get these for if you don't mind me asking? Might be a great alternative vs buying genuine.
