It's not the same application, but the E9x xDrive Lemforder tie rods have been complete junk for about 18-24 months now. At least one inner joint has failed within 2 years on most that I installed in that time.

Outer tie rod is obviously bent, might have even damaged the inner tie rod that it connects to. Check fcpeuro out for lemforder if genuine is pricey
I had an E70 X5 that needed new tie rods. Got the Lemförders, because they used to be very good, albeit they are usually on the pricier side. And these things lasted for like 3000 miles.
I used lemforder for my tie rods and I’ve had no issues after 5-10k miles.
Ended up putting Lemforder tie rods as well. It feels like a new car !!!
I just did my entire front end. I got the Lemforder kit control arms with the bushings already pressed in, came with the entire tie rod and ball joints. Overall the parts seemed like good quality, and it's infinitely better on the road than it was.
