That was a "Behr/Hella", made in Germany (based on photos above).

Yours from AutoHauz was a Behr/Hella, made in China.
Your stealer's is Sitronic/Valeo/BMW, made in Germany.

It's really hard to tell who 'made' these things ... because of the multiple labeling - and - apparently, they no longer stamp the 'real' manufacturer on the housing (right?), so, I, for one, am having trouble concluding much of anything different from the first post of this thread.
Can someone summarize the general conclusion so far as to which is the 'good' brand and origin?
