Engine Bay Partitions
I'm looking to replace all the engine bay partition pieces and the microfilmer housings on my 2012 X5. I'm not about to spend $$$$ on the OEM parts just to have them crumble to pieces again, so I'm wondering if anyone here has used the parts from eBay or Ali express? Yeah I know cheap china junk parts . But for the price, you can buy this stuff multiple times versus the OEM BMW parts, and it's easy to replace. I wish I would have ordered this crap a few months ago because I thought it was quite a bit cheaper overall. Here's a link to what I'm seeing: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...Cquery_from%3A

I just replaced mine with these from Amazon, they are cheaper than the Aliexpress ones (They are exactly the same as the Aliexpress ones) and you will get them quicker. There are a couple holes you need to drill or make larger but they fit perfectly, just compare the holes to the original and transfer over the foam seals on the bottom from the originals and the rubber gasket on top and save $400 over OEM.

Chinese ones on my X5M for almost 7 years now, they are doing the job. I did put gold foil tape on the fronts before I installed, so not sure if that helped or not, but I like it. Should have cleaned molding oils off first, live and learn.
