    Where are you buying new parts from?

    I've been browsing this site looking for a list of reputable vendors but have fallen short. I know ECS is decent, but their prices seem a little high. Anyone got a good online source for parts? I need to order a bunch of gaskets and hoses.

    Thanks,
    Blue

    I get most of my parts from the local dealer. Mine gives me a good discount and since there's no shipping the prices wind up about the same as what I'd pay on-line for OE/OEM parts.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        I like using FCPeuro.com They might not have the biggest selection but having free shipping over $25 really is a good deal- as opposed to 95% of BMW part sites. They also send me 10-15% off codes every few months.

        Yuck, ECS- try ordering a feather and they will charge you $15 to ship it.

          Support a forum sponsor like blunttech.com or gutenparts.com.

                I order from Pelican Parts. I'm in the 562 area and I get next day delivery depending what time I order the parts.

                  Although Pelican has some good prices they are not a forum sponsor. I try to buy from sponsors as much I can unless the price difference is considerable.

                      bmwmercedesparts.com has the best prices and mike always gets back to you super fast.

                      However
                      , I shop mainly through bluntech because I know where my money is going and I can skip on shipping and pick up the parts.

                              BLUNT! I absolutely recommend Blunt

                              I bought stuff from Blunt for my 2002 and I have heard nothing but the best about BLUNT.
