Comparing WN and BMW firewall insulation

[Bmachine]

Does anyone know if the upper firewall insulation that WN sells is an oem bmw part? Or is it a repro? Sometimes they sell Oem stuff and sometimes not.

Their price is significantly lower so I am a bit suspicious.

95% of their products are BMW, probably the case here too

Years ago I bought an original BMW insulation "new / old stock" in a plastic bag with BMW sticker.
The colour is different; it´s a kind of brown.

I painted the BMW brown insulation with flexible black dye intended for car interior parts. After 35 years it is still there.

Not sure if a BMW part (guessing not from packaging) but the W&N piece looks nice and accurate.

Thanks Jeff

Well, I just received the one I ordered from W&N. I think the stickers answer the original question pretty clearly

Wonder how it compares to:

Bo, All of Walloth’s stuff has BMW labels!

I bought this one and it fits and works well. Cheaper too.

Before you get annoyed with me, the comment below is a clarification current and future consumers of this thread. I am only attempting to clarify something that will be completely obvious to you @HB Chris.

Not exactly. W&N labels always have BMW part numbers, but they aren’t BMW labels.

Bo’s insulation has both. The W&N label with a BMW part number, and a genuine BMW label with the part number. The presence of the BMW label does indicate that the part came from BMW. Many W&N parts don’t come from BMW, but will have the part number. W&N part numbers generally have a leading “A”.

Yes, Walloth adds an A to the BMW part number, I meant to say 90% of their parts come from BMW.
