    Best Bargain BMW Parts Shopping

    Damn if I don't learn something new everyday about buying new parts. I used to buy my BMW parts from Bavarian Auto Parts, nice catalog=high prices. Same with BMP. Moved on to Pelican and RM European which are much less expensive than the aforementioned companies. Last night I spoke with a BMW parts guy who says buy from World Pac Auto. I Googled it and I ended up on Shopzilla and found a Behr radiator for my slushbox for $30 less than RM European.
    Anyone else have a favorite site for buying parts?

      BMW parts guy is the parts dept. manager and says World Pac sells OEM but cannot use Behr name on radiator. Bluntech sent me a PM. I'll check out the site. Thanks.

        right but OEM and original BMW parts are 2 different things, some of the parts are sourced from the same and some are specific bmw made parts if that makes sence. Anyhow Steve (Blunt) can get you either at great prices/service.

            Got a quote from him today. Price on the radiator was actually quite inexpensive.

              I use Blunt quite often.... erm. You know what I mean.
              His prices aren't ALWAYS the cheapest (maybe 5% of the time I can find cheaper stuff. but I don't think that the shipping can be beat. Great if you work on a lot of different cars, or if a DD craps out on you.

              I lost count of how many beers I owe him.

                    Don't get me wrong Blunt has good prices but I always seem to find new stuff for way less from people who have stuff to sell.

                        You're crazy if you don't buy from Blunt. The CnB alone are worth it even if he wasn't the cheapest around. And he is. You might be able to find a single part on some random site somewhere cheaper if you spend an hour searching, but on an order on multiple parts plus shipping he can't be beaten.
