Anyone know of an online retailer who sell and delivers BMW parts (OEM or not)? I'm looking at getting a few less common items. I've got all the part numbers. Thanks.

I use Motormec in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Will give you a 10% discount if a member of the BMW Car Club. Top guys, really know their stuff and only supply OEM parts and do very competitive prices, well below those of BMW UK.

I thought these guys just gave out the information and not sell anything. This is where I get the part numbers from.

I'm in the process of setting up an e commerce site for my place. If you have the part numbers it might be worth looking at the BMW Owners club site as we (dealers) post our stock listings on there now and you may pick up a bargin. Or just send me the part numbers and I will see what I can do on prices for you. I've got a good courier company that look after us when we post any Lambo Bentley Lotus or Rolls Royce parts.

Might it not be easier to ask your DP to advertise on here? Or are you on commission?

They aren't snide comments, it just seems on every response you suggest that 'you' or should that be 'H R Owen' can either supply or fit or both, even to PH members that live miles away. I am sure many BMW owners will be pleased to compare 'your' prices, both for labour and parts.

I suggested on this one that the guy tried the Owners club. He wanted to buy parts online so it didn't matter where lived. I was trying to avoid anything that looked to far away tho smile We have just started to post stuff around the country and overseas, the Sports Car guys who were here before us used to do alot of it. I work at a dealer, yes, I get paid on performance of my dept, yes, I will explore any avenues the keep me and my guys in a job, yes. If you every find that you need info from a dealer on BMW issues both parts and service then where ever possible I will try and help.

PG, can I suggest then that you alter your profile slightly then, and maybe put your name rather than H R Owen parts, and try to make it look slightly less than an advert. smile
