The prices on there are so much better than getting any of the same OEM stuff from a dealer. Anyone had any experience with them? They aren't too good to be true are they?

Ordered some discs and pads for a 3 series a few years back. Delivery was quick, pads weren't the ones I'd ordered as they were out of stock of the ones I ordered which annoyed me, as they didn't check if I minded or not. Good prices though, or certainly were back then, haven't looked recently.

Used for Lemforder rear arms on E39, good price, fast delivery, would use in preferance to GSF or Euro

Mmm sounds alright, needing a few things, cooling system parts and an alternator.

Also had a look here http://www.wanapart.co.uk/index.html

Never heard of them but their alternator prices are far cheaper than the dealer as well.

I've used them loads.

Always bits in stock for my E30 M3, Also had bushes for my 320cd and suspension arms for my E39.
Prices are reasonable and quick delivery.

I'd recommend them.

In my experience they often send you non genuine parts that they claim are genuine, a febi oil level sensor for example, phone before and confirm what brand you expect to receive.

Did they brand the listing or just label it OEM?

Most things I'm after state their brand in the listing.

I've used them before, and would use them again.
