Where to buy small parts (fasteners etc.) for BMW online?

[MajorMantra]

I've recently entered the glorious world of BMW ownership with an E91 and I'm just learning how BMW is fond of using aluminium for fasteners, meaning that re-use is fraught with peril.

Can anyone point me to a convenient online source for replacements, and also for other small parts? For example my VANOS solenoid o-rings aren't looking great, but I'm wary of just using any old crap as a replacement.

Cheers!

Worth a try I suppose. You might do just as well on eBay, or try the main dealer.

Useful to know, but they don't list any of the small stuff.

Useful suggestions, thanks!
