What's their appeal? Made is US? Cheap? Lifetime warranty?
EDIT:
I did some more research and it looks like a cheap made in China parts sold as legit quality products. Most of the testimonials are by the sites selling their parts, it doesn't say where parts are made (site just states "USA Owned") and even trustpilot reviews are not great. Full front suspension kit (https://bimmers.com/product/bison-pe...e/BM4890129KIT) for $880 sounds too good to be true. Also their warranty requires you to purchase replacement part from them again and then you get reimbursed.

Quote:
Purchase a genuine BISON PERFORMANCE product and if it fails, buy a replacement BISON PERFORMANCE product and send the defective product back to us.

Qualified warranty items will be refunded against the replacement order when the warranty item gets back to our warehouse. The failed item must be returned to us within 60 days of the warranty claim initiation.
Your call but to me it looks like this company will change their name in a year or two once the amount of negative reviews goes too high. I just don't see a reason to buy cheap parts for expensive vehicles, if part fails you will pay more in labor just to replace it again.

It isn't that they are cheap. I can get them on Amazon in a couple of days, and they come with the correct 27mm 12 point nut. Most of the one I see on other parts web sites don't have the correct nut. I would guess even the GM ones are made in China.
