BMW spare parts - where best to buy?

[rharris21]

I need an air con pipe from the pump to the condensor for a e46 330 ci.

I have had a quote from BMW for £72 plus VAT and for what it is that seems rather expensive.
The pipe is probably a foot long if that.

Where does everyone buy there parts from..
Has anyone had experience with this problem before?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Yeh have done. Also tried plenty of indy specialists but am getting the same response - they have to order from BMW to then sell to me.

Looks like a BMW job..

Try some BMW dealers on ebay. Normally a bit cheaper.

They do any BMW parts with about 10% discount on RRP.
If not in stock then use their quotation form, they are quick to come back with a price (in working hours).
