Yes. I had one on my e39 (M54) for a long time. Probably put close to 75k miles on it before I sold it. It was the Bosch variant. No issues with it at all. In fact, it appeared to be a Bosch reman in an Autozone box. Hard to tell what the internals were but they looked exactly the same.

Bosch Icons. Check out the Project Farm video as he tested most big brands, and these won out over PIAAs.
My Bosch are probably about 4 years old. Have not started to streak.
Bosch Icon. Going on 5 yrs and just starting to streak a little. Truck outside 24/7 hot sun but only a few weeks of cold to a few days of freezing (South Texas).
Best I have used.
I grudged paying for Bosch wiper blades through my MOT repairs until I actually used them. Won't buy anything else now.
Bosch Aerotwins with Rain X fluid. I am usually sceptical about such expensive alternatives to pretty much anything from Tesco, but with a new set of blades it's brilliant stuff.
Bosch have been generally good for me, I managed 4 years on one set of front wipers on my panda and they were still good when I sold it
Update: went Bosch for the plugs and ngk for the coils, the manufacturer plugs and coils were still in as if no one has touched them since the car was bought, I’m the third owner I believe. Each spark plug was toasted, easily double the recommended gap, and once I put the first two coils in (pulled code P0300, P0301,P0302) the problem entirely went away (coughing and sputtering exhaust, slow to accelerate, car shaking between 20-40 mph, rough starts) so I knew it was a go ahead for the rest of the coils. Feels like a whole new car all around, I can tell the engine is thanking me by what she’s putting out now ????
It killed what is left of my soul but I mickey moused it. All the starters that match at the parts stores (bosch, ac delco etc) lack the correct plug. Used a couple ugly .250" flat connectors. how embarassing.
We've had all sorts of problems with Bosch reman alternators. They worked really well until Volvo put the alternator on the CAN network. The reman ones have a ton of trouble making the right charging voltage.
