2016 740i Front Suspension Bushing Leak

Hello Experts

This is my first post here so please accept my apologies for anything stupid.

My 2016 740i with 51356 miles has leaks on the front suspension bushings as shown in the pictures. The dealer is quoting $1500 to replace them inclusive of parts and labor.

Do we know if I can buy the OEM but non-BMW branded part from the manufacturer who manufactures the control arms anywhere ? Is Lemforder the manufacturer ?

Hi, welcome to BimmerPost!

This failure has nothing to do with air struts. You have a failed hydraulic mount on tension strut. Dont just replace the bushing, replace the strut as ball joint is not far behind.

Thank you for your responses. Could someone point me to who manufactures these components so that I can buy it unbranded ?
