Where do you get your parts from?

Hi all,

Looking at buying a few bits and pieces for the car, TPS, MAF etc. Which led me to wondering, where do you all source your parts from? Straight from BMW? Trying to make sure I get the most competitive prices on genuine or OEM parts.

Thanks

Phil
 
I tried to buy a strut brace from a site called "genuine auto parts" which seemed to be a complete con. Avoid at all costs.

My experience was terrible, would avoid at all costs.
 
You can try Sopers Lincoln or harry fairburn dealers an mention forum to get discount an I know Sopers do free delivery, if you need to go genuine,
BMW UK do have a eBay store but someone recently had trouble with that
 
Main dealer :)
Once they know you
You can get good discounts
Styner in Birmingham do me a damn good discount :)

OEM parts with the full bmw exploded diagrams. Much cheaper than the dealer.

Sadly they're no longer operating, or at least for the time being. You can only order from them what they have left in stock which for E85s is not a lot.
BMW seem to have cracked down on the channels for their parts. The individual dealer shops on ebay like Ocean, Stratstone etc no longer seem to be out there, just Official BMW Ebay store. :thumbsdown:
 
I had a feeling that dealer would end up being the answer, I wonder why all the third party places with genuine parts have shut up shop? Guess I'll just have to try and ensure I get the best discount I can!
 
I pretty much purchase everything from Bimmer Bum. I know the owner and he supports our national ZSCCA organization and often joins us at various events. I've always had good pricing and service. http://bimmerbum.com/
 
Hi Phil I have used a company called BuyCarparts.co.uk for a few bits really good service and the price couldn't be beaten
