Well, shoot. I did a search and haven't come up with a definitive answer to what I thought would be any easy question. I'm used to dealing with online parts ordering via part numbers and parts fiches from dealers, such as www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. However, I haven't been able to find such a place for Mini parts.

Do you guys have any recommendations? I have heard some talk about Classic Mini, but they don't even seem to have a website. Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

If you go to www.realoem.com, they have the parts diagrams and part numbers. For ordering oem parts, I like to use Morristown MINI or www.pelicanparts.com.

 

Another good source is bimmerspecialist.com - excellent service and low shipping costs.

 

I ordered OEM parts from http://www.ecstuning.com/
the search isn't great on the site, but if you know the part number, it pulls right up.
I don't know if there was a promotion, but last week, over-night shipping was cheaper than standard ground. I got my part in 2 days & installed the next.

 

Thanks! You guys rock!

Another random question. When I go look up the oil filter system diagram for my car ('03 S, MT) on realoem.com, I see 2 different diagrams. One has a spring looking thing under the oil filter cap, and the other doesn't. Also, one has a big block called "heat exchanger". How do I know which one applies?

 

I have always used Classic MINI in Ohio - excellent prices and customer service

We have a number of links for aftermarket parts and OEM parts in our aftermarket parts section that might help.

 

Well I ended up placing an order with Classic Mini. It was a clunky process of looking the parts up online and a large email chain with the guys at classic mini. As long as I get my parts though, I'll be happy. Great prices (especially with the NAM discount ) and they were friendly and quick to respond with emails.

Now I'll just wait and see if my parts show up :D...

 

Ditto for Classic; Jayson is great.

 

Just got my parts today. Jayson is da man!

 

sorry for a late post just want to ask if somebody here tried ordering mini parts (or other brand) in jcwhitney? haven't tried to order here for oem parts.
