Anybody ordered any OEM parts from parts.com?

Any good or bad experience?

 

Never used them, but this would concern me:

Any other online sources of OEM parts?

I found few BMW parts vendors and Mini parts were available through their parts catalog, but I called and they said they do not sell Mini parts.

What is wrong with them? I bet it is the same distribution channel (BMW).

 

Many of the NAM vendors sell OEM parts and I'll be rolling out an all new part of my website to sell OEM parts in the next week. Feel free to PM me anything you need.

 

I've had good experiences with these vendors:

These are MINI dealerships that sell at a discount, and probably have the lowest prices available for OEM parts:
Classic MINI (e-mail or call for price quote; pay with credit card over the phone)
Morristown MINI (request price quote with the form; response may take a couple of days, or call)

3rd party vendors I've used for OEM parts and had good service:
Pelican Parts
MiniCarParts.net

Before you order, it helps to look up parts and numbers at RealOEM

 

PelicanParts.com has almost every OEM MINI part.

 

True. Even more expensive than my local dealership...

 

I have purchased from them many times and have had good experiences, most recently in March of 2014, but it appears that parts.com no longer sells Mini parts. And my old login does not work, surprisingly. I assume that they were bought out or had a hasty management change, as that is a very strange way to do business. Does anyone know what happened to their Mini business?

 

We have MINI Genuine part and aftermarket parts here:

www.ecstuning.com

Just use the drop down to select your MINI or dump the 11 digit MINI part number into the top right search box, without spaces or dashes.

 

+1 for ECS Tuning as a parts source, and +1000 for all their help on NAM.
