I replaced mine with a Nissens and it’s been working great for over a year. The way the drain plug felt when I installed it was a bit concerning though.
Well at 112k km my N20 already changed the VCG twice. Once under warranty at 60k-ish km and one at 100k-ish km. The latter I was using Elring instead of Genuine BMW.
I just did a standard exchange on mine (Valeo 120A), paid 300€ deposit included, so it's definitely a good deal.
I changed my old valeo 90amp to hella 120amp about a month ago and it works perfectly, so you'll probably be fine.
The BMW original from pierburg last way longer than 60,000 miles, more like 90,000 miles. Plus, as time went on they made them better than before. Getter a new one today will last longer than the original one.
We routinely get cars with 120,000 miles on their first water pump too.
I’ve had both for a rwd N52, currently on Sachs. But the Sachs are still really good and worth it for the savings over the B4.
Ive had mine misfire all of a sudden, whole car shook, CEL lit up, said code "cylinder 1 misfires" sometimes it ran normal but then rough again. If i gave more than 1/2 throttle it shook even more and it had no power at all. When i checked the coils on mine they were original "BREMI" manufactured and even the date from back in the day was on the bremi coils. They now held up 230000 kilometers since when the car rolled off the factory, thats more than enough service
I recently replaced them with the Sachs oe equivalent to save money. They’re a softer ride than the B4 and in hindsight, while not a bad purchase, I would have preferred the B4.
