    Where to buy parts.. dillema

    I would like to complete my 5 speed swap this next comming week, which means i need roughly 300$ worth of stuff to do it (clutch, CSB, tranny mounts, etc etc)..

    My two options
    BMA: cheap parts but shipping to get it to me in time is $texas
    bavauto: expensive parts but shipping is more reasonable..

    Other options i've thought of:
    1.get all small parts from BMA (ie everything except clutch) and get clutch at dealer with BMWCCA discount.
    2. finding another source for mail order parts


    Any suggestions, idea for me?

    Here are my needed parts:
    Clutch kit
    shift knob
    shift boot
    CSB
    guibo
    tranny output seal
    Tranny mounts

    Thanks,
    Julien

      How can shipping be so much from BMA?? How quickly do you need the parts ("this next comming" what??)??

      It's not that complicated, do the math and do whatever comes out cheapest AND gets the parts to you in time.

              Fixed the typo.. I was just wondering if someone knew of a good priced retailer in the SE/NE.

                      I buy everything from BMA, including body panels, skid plates, everything.

                      Shipping is not THAT much.

                                  Call Patrick. He will hook you up. UPS ground is five days from Ca. to Tx. I have gotten things in three from BMA to Laredo.
