    Default Where do you buy BMW Parts?

    Bavarian Autosport (bavauto.com) seems to have a pretty expansive selection. Where do you get new things for your BMW?

    BMA Auto Parts www.bmaparts.com and PelicanParts www.pelicanparts.com are my 2 faves. eluka888 on ebay is pretty good for a few things

    Pelican parts for non dealer-only parts. www.mileoneparts.com for the dealer-only parts.

    BMA - the service is second to none.

    A surprising amount of stuff isn't priced too badly at the dealer if you can get a small discount. BMW club members or frequent customer/shade tree mechanic/enthusiasts are granted something on the order of 10 -20% off. Usually it's in stock and always gauranteed to be OE.
    autohausaz, pelican, bma, europarts direct are other online sources.
    e-bay is a crap shoot I'm unwilling to make.
    The tax savings are sometimes substantial if ordering across state borders from the out of town online folks.
    Make friends with your local dealar parts man, mine has been a big help more than once.

    I have one dealer in Germany and www.autohausaz.com

    Sometimes the dealer is even cheaper or has same price like Autohaus or other online shops, on other parts like O2 sensors, distributors etc. Autohaus is way cheaper. I also consider exchange rates $<>EURO, so the way of purchasing changes depending on exchange rates.

    dealer for little things and orders that I don't mind waiting a week or so on in exchange for free shipping, unless cost + tax = cost + shipping from BMA.
    any large orders are BMA. dealer let me down twice on multipiece orders.

    I usually use Mileone.com, BMA, Bavauto, or AutohausAZ.
