Has anyone got any recommended websites for sourcing spares and parts?

When I had my Elise I found Eliseparts and Elise-shop excellent with good pricing and fast delivery. Are there any decent BMW equivalents out there?

I've found Motormec but the website isn't very user friendly and doesn't seem very comprehensive. BM Mini Parts seems useful for diagrams, but not for actually buying parts.

Depends on the parts that you're after.

  • Ebay is okay for 2nd hand or hard-to-find bits.
  • Cooper are okay for new parts (but so is your local dealer).
  • BMminiparts.com are okay for stuff they have in stock (surplus stock)
  • EuroCarParts or GSF Car Parts are okay for service items and some other general bits
  • Then there's a multitude of breakers you can ask

Thanks for that. Some useful links to bookmark there.

I'm having some trouble connecting to the "Online Parts Shop" at Quarry. Is it just me?
