I agree - this is one of those cases where BMW appears to have had a supplier with what seems like questionable product quality over a number of years.
Might be the rear suspension design itself, but not a convincing case for insisting on exactly the same spring to replace a broken one.
I would be more comfortable with an alternate one as long as the maker has a good track record.

Don't know if the O.E. ones were Stumpp or not, but if they were it looks like they came out of a Slovakian plant.
The Lesjofors ones could be from several countries, including China as always seems to be the case now.
But worth a gamble I would say.
