I ordered my bilsteins and h&r's from patrick, I got the springs price matched at 210 from turner and the shock for 376, it was 586 and shipping made it 613ish. He saved me a ton, but the h&r springs were on backorder so I had to wait a few weeks to get them. I recently ordered a truck seal which I got for around 30 and I was going to get the black windshield gaskets but I was maxed on credit and minus a job. I dont know if he is still looking for a home for the windshield gaskets they were the ones off of an M3?both front and rear are less than 100. so if anyone is interested in shadow windshield molding/seal give patrick a call.

I ordered a starter for my M6. unit fit perfectly, at a great price ($95) and the core charge. He was fast to email which is my preferred means of communication as well.
Good experience, but I prefer the face-to-face I get of the guys at my local dealer counter. With my BMWCCA membership I get the parts at list (about 15-20% cheaper, sometimes less though). For things like starters/alternators, etc. BMW was definitely cheaper.
I would recommend. But $35 on a BMW CCA membership can get you some great deals at your local dealership parts department. call and ask if they offer a discount.

On Tuesday, I made a $650 order of 27 parts. Mostly seals, hoses, bolts, studs, and some other items I had trouble finding at the dealer. ALL of it was on my doorstep the next day.
I also love how their website tracks all of your purchase. In the past few months, i've spent $1229 with them and everything was top notch.Michael Spiegle

Do you guys all speak with patrick directly? I usually just order stuff through their website. Does Patrick get any commission? If so, then i'll start ordering directly through him.Michael Spiegle

A while back while we were finishing up Spoon's M50 swap we realized we a) were in a time crunch and b) needed a set of flywheel bolts ASAP. Spoke directly to him and he had them in the mail before he left that day. God bless Patrick. If I was a woman he'd be having my kids.

I always ask for Patrick when I call BMA just because he always been real helpful and made sure my parts got to me in time.
The first time I called BMA I needed the parts by Saturday and it was Friday. He worked with me to cut the cost of shipping down to $30 and it was on my doorstep before I even woke up the next day.

Ordered all the stuff for a timing belt replacement off the BMA site. Got the wrong power steering belt, alternator belt, and water pump. Not a good impression for my first order. I'll try dealing directly with Patrick next time.
Update - Patrick resolved the problem and sent the new parts before even recieving the replacements and reimbursed my cost for shipping parts back to them.Last edited by DoriftuEvo; 11-22-2005, 07:00 PM.

bought the Z4 3.0 shifter for my car along with some little parts. one had to be special ordered but he said I'd have them soon, told him I don't need the parts until the second weekend and then that weekend is coming up so I call him on thursday afternoon and ask if anything has happened.
The parts had not been shipped yet for some reason. well I was mad since I thought I wouldn't get my stuff in time that I told.
However, He remembered the conversation and everything and what do you know, he overnighted the parts from california to maryland!!!!!!!!!
WOW!! Patrick rocks!!!
Thanks a lot, won't do business with anyone else now since I know I'm important to them... :P
