Is RealOEM working for you?

[LunarOne]

Can't get past the front page of RealOEM and it's been like this for a couple of days now. If I use my history to find URLs for particular cars, then I could get a few sub categories to lad yesterday and today, but now it's not working at all.

Any other good BMW parts catalogues you can recommend? Looking to identify part numbers for my E32 suspension refresh project. Thanks!

Working for me...but the cookie pop-up doesn't always pop up, and that might be stopping you from continuing.

Ah that was it. I have a plugin called I don't care about cookies and that was stopping me progressing. Much better now thank you!

RealOEM is crap.

BMWFans is much better.

Thanks for the tip! I've been using RealOEM for decades and since M539 restorations on Youtube still uses it, I assumed it was still the best place for parts listings.

Nice. How recent is the catalogue? RealOEM is still running off a 4 year old database, which has tripped me up a few times with out of date part numbers.

I note that BMW Fans is far from complete - covering fewer models. And the listings for the F20 after 2016 are a case in point.

Whilst RealOEM has some niggles (such as navigation) it is far more comprehensive, and will indicate if a part has ended or has been superseded by a new part number.

I do like the user interface of BMWFans and consider the visual experience better than RealOEM.

Maybe both have their place?

You could try Leebmann24.de https://www.leebmann24.de/

It's in german, but it's all pretty self explanatory.

It will also give you an idea of prices and alternatives.

Here's a direct link for Mini discs as an example.

working fine over here.

I have a favourite saved after i'd already drilled down to my own car, and an ad blocker installed. Both make it much nicer.

you could try BMW direct shop on eBay.

Although searching appears to be difficult.
