N55 Bosch VS OEM Fuel Injectors

I have a question weirdly noone asked before or I am being that bad at research. It's time for me to replace my high pressure fuel injectors on bmw 435i n55 and there are 2 options to me OEM BMW ones that cost about 200$ s and Bosch ones that cost half the price. Now I've red that Bosch claims both are manufactured by them and there is no difference whatsoever, but as I am going to stage 2 the car with BM3 I am being a bit afraid. Is BMW being BMW again and charges us twice the cost just for the logo or is there a hidden difference that justifies the price gap?

BMW being BMW. Get either brand of injectors from fcpeuro so if they ever go bad, you have lifetime warranty

The Bosch OE replacements are the same as the BMW injectors. Just no BMW logo. Recently changed all 6 and had them coded. They been solid for about a month now.

Thanks for the help all, I appreciate that, however
1) I still can't believe they are able to sell exact same injectors for twice the price, maybe in bmw they do some extra work of checking the quality of each injectors or something?
2) my backyard service guy says Bosch ones go bad after 60 000 Miles and the BMW ones after about 100 000 Miles

I wouldn't care about the extra miles, but as am going to tune the car am a bit afraid of detonation...

Anyone with Bootmod3 stage2 and Bosch Injectors here?

It's just business. BMW still has expenses associated with having these parts available for sale.

Me. Not sure what else to tell you bro. Lol.

Bootmod3 Stage 2 FBO custom cary tune. Bosch injectors from FCPeuro.

You already stated you have a backyard mechanic telling you what his experience has been with the injectors. Seems like you trust him. Not sure why your still looking for an answer here. I'd just call bmw and ask your SA. I do it all the time.

Edit: This question has literally been discussed. thousands of times on this thread. Google is your friend. Good luck OP!

Thanks a lot, sounds convincing, I will go with Bosch ones. Not trusting my service guy because his experience is not enough for full statistics. As for discussions here, I did the homework, honestly not a single direct answer on this question before you did, and again my first suspicion was "this guys are trying to sell me FCPeuro" . Did research on them, looks like I will end up with them. Thanks again.

Its the exact same concept as the Bosch and BMW spark plugs. The BMW ones are like 3x the price for exactly the same spark plug. I got the Bosch ones from FCP Euro and zero issues.
