Default BMW or Bosch?

Guys,I'm doing some preventative maintenance.The car has 84,000 on it now & I was going to replace the cam sensor.I here they can be a issue.Should I use a genuine BMW part or the Bosch one?
The bosch sensor has a tag on it "MADE IN GERMANY".
Are they junk?

Any info is greatly appreciated

Same sensor. Bosch provides most of the electrical components for BMW cars. Just be aware that the generic Bosch sensor may not have the correct plug.

I've never heard of a generic cam sensor, but you can buy generic bosch O2 sensors, and you just splice in the proper connector to make it work.
