I can offer that Lemförder is OEM for many BMW and Audi suspension parts. My experience is that they were always top quality.
I've never heard of karlyn but a quick google show's them to be a US based aftermarket manufacturer.

I'd stick with OEM as well.


FWIW here's a quote from a BMW forum:

"My control arms are karlyn and they seem to be just fine. i am sure they are not hardened ball joints (oem lemforder ball joints are) but the car is only driven hard about 5% of the time. also the only concern would be the replacement interval as these (karlyn) parts may not hold up as long as the more expensive lemforder pieces"
