Blower motor Hella vs VDO

What's better for replacement of the blower motor? Hella or VDO?

Valeo is the OEM. You can find Valeo with a new resistor pack for $100 on line.

What's the Behr standard ? Some blower motor references it to be Behr??

I've replaced my blower twice. The 1st replacement I bought from BMW, so its an OE part. The 2nd replacement I bought the Valeo aftermarket blower with resistor pack from Turner IIRC. The Valeo was identical to the BMW OE part.

Are you hung up about something regarding OE vs. OEM vs. aftermarket? Behr is a BMW OEM supplier. Behr is owned by Hella.

I'm fine with OEM. Just a want a good brand that is durable and well made. Rockauto doesn't have Valeo or Hella. They have VDO, TYC and ACM. I'm from Canada and the other online charges a lot for shipping. Rockauto has fair shipping .
