    Where does everyone get parts from?

    Hey just wondering where you guys go to for your parts. I've been using pelicanparts a lot, but was wondering about the other options out there.

        I get parts from pelican. Super fast shipping and good prices on most of it. Never ordered from blunt but lots talk about it.

          I've run the gauntlet and finally tried Blunttech. Good stuff and super nice to deal with. I'll be getting most stuff from them now.

          FCP Euro has pretty good prices and their shipping is quick.

          ECS has the best website as far as photos and they have a lot of euro items and or bits that I can't find anywhere else although I hear Blunt can get most of that stuff but I haven't tried yet.

            I emailed blunt on a Sunday night at 10 PM and got a response ten minutes later, got my parts a few days later.

            When I need something quick I always try blunt first.

            First reman parts I've had good luck with rock auto, they have good shipping rates for core return, it was like $6 to ship back 2 brake calipers.

            I've also ordered from bimmerworld, autohausaz.com, pelican, and bavauto, all have been fine.

                  I've ordered from pelican and guten before and they are ok. Blunts service is unbeatable and good prices, the dude seriously gives a fuck.

                      Pelican parts, fcp euro, and ecs tuning are great. I haven't tried blunt

                      Bavauto is okay too but anything genuine bmw takes like a month to get in stock. I've returned unused stuff to them and they've been good about it.

                      I usually go to each site and add everything to my cart and whichever is cheaper/has better brands/is closest I'll go with

                        Where does everyone get parts from?

                        Mainly fcp and turner, FCP is in CT and turner is in MA, order from them because fast shipping and they are "local" companies. With FCP the free shipping over $49 comes in two days, it's really nice. Packaging is always on point, and my order has always been spot on.

                          I was able to set up an account with a large Euro parts wholesaler, its not a name most of you would know. Super cheap and free same-day delivery, my last oil change was under $20 using a Mahle filter and Total Racing 20w50.

                          I've thought about making it a side business, if I thought I could make a living off it long-term I would.

                            I use pelican parts, ecs, and fcp euro. I've used bavauto before but it takes a while for things to get in stock but other than that they're great. Fcpeuro ships quick but I always find that the stuff is priced a little higher than the others. Ecs is my go to, I just placed a 7k order with them last month, we'll see how it goes when it gets here. I've never tried blunt but I heard he's good, I might send him all of the parts numbers from my recent order and check the price difference with shipping.

                              BMA or my buddies shop.

                              BMA usually drop ships from a warehouse in town, so it's usually in a day or two.
