good wholesale BMW parts websites?

[trashcop 80s 80s]

Does anyone know of wholesale parts websites that are for businesses only? I noticed that FAP99, BMAParts, and a few others have the exact same parts search, layout, similar pricing, almost exactly the same parts. So there must be some certain company providing them the wholesale account.
What about wholesale performance parts, such as suspension (springs,shocks,bushings,sway bars...), and bolt ons?

probably IMC or WorldPac

The shop where I work doesn't use worldpac, only because they REQUIRE you to buy $1800+/month of stuff in order to keep/open an account. i just get our neighbor to order me up some stuff through worldpac if i need anything.

what i would do to have access to a world pac account again...

worldpac always had bad pricing compared to IMC.

sometimes worldpac is hit-n-miss. if i don't like their prices i hit up
SSF imported autoparts or A&F imported.:D

So, there is a $1800/month minimum to world-pac? What about IMC? A friends dad is looking for a wholesaler, but I doubt he will be ordering $1800 right away.

yes, worldpac REQUIRES a commitment to open an account with them.
it used to be $1500 then $1800 and supposedly it MIGHT change to $2000 in '08.

This is not true. While they "say" that, we spent about $500-1000 a month.

The bulk we spent with was IMC (3K+ month).

SSF sucks, the prices there are the worst.

Interesting. They begged and begged for our business. They even offered to keep "lowering the matrix." Oh well, you must have had a stupid sales rep.

SSF was always much more expensive than the others. Must be the "matrix" again.
