GSF as good as OEM?

I'm looking to start changing out some of the bushes/mounts (no reason other than OCD, and an excuse to get to know the car) but, as the title says, are GSF as good as OEM?

I have a friend that gets trade discount at GSF which makes them very good value, and significantly cheaper than the stealer. However, if they are not as good as OEM then it's just false economy.

They will be an inferior pattern part.

I've kept OEM on mine when I last replaced as they are critical on the Z4 set up.
 
It depends what brand, basically if you buy whoever it is that supplies BMW, you'll get the same product without the BMW box. I do it quite regularly. Take a look at the part and find the manufacturer, buy those off of gsf/eBay
 
RJS - of course you're right provided that the part you get from the oem is actually the same. Not always the case.

On general what's supplied by motor factors is pattern parts to a price.
Enay ks also awash with fames.

As always buyer research is key...
