Who to get BMW parts from

[sam919]

Has anyone got a favoured place to get BMW parts genuine/same as but different box from.

Thanks.

Euro Car Parts are worth a shot.

Do you mean service parts or accesories?
Service parts i'd try German&Swedish&French or Eurocarparts, accessories i'd try CotswoldGroup or SJParts.

Or German Sweedish, although some M parts are hard to source through them.

Many thanks,

Im looking for rear discs, pads, shoes. Its a 528 M-sport which i thought was purely cosmetic in change to normal 5 series 528, the shocks i found to be different/ uprated. I bought some front discs supposedly mintex and they lasted aroud 1000 miles befroe they were warped. Dont want to throw away another 120 quid again.

Euro car Parts stock OEM BMW parts but also a variety of pattern parts, many of which are better, such as disks, pads etc. Mintex are not the best, you can do better elsewhere.

Do you tend to sit with your foot on the brake pedal when stopped? if not then I would be tempted to return the disks to the retailer and ask for replacements as they are of a substandard quality. Even the disks on my track car last far longer than that and that's driven with zero mechanical sympathy.
