I usually maintain my own cars. I also tend to use OEM parts. Does someone have a name of a online store / parts department that has OEM parts, but at lower than OEM prices? For our BMW, we use Circle BMW and just look up the part number on realoem.com, or they can look it up. But for Mini I need to find a place.

Some of the places I seen, like Sewell, Outmotoring, don't seem to carry all the OEM parts, example OEM brakes and rotors.

thanks

 

grips03,

Please feel free to contact us directly so we may send you a quote via our website that you are able to order online from.

Having recently ordered oil filter elements from Sewell, I was pleased to be able to get the genuine MINI item at a decent price. However, I was shocked to pay $24 for shipping -- $3 per filter element

 

I'm gonna stick with the 3 year free maintenace deal then see about doing my own work. It's nice to know there are good deals online but it's gotta be a GOOD deal or I like supporting the local "Brick n mortar" stores.

 

I've used

ECStuning.com

parts.com

and ddmtuning.com

I've ordered dozens of parts from parts.com including wheels with good luck (with only one hicup).

 

oldsbear,

I just looked at this order and the shipping does look unusually high. I have gone ahead and credited the full amount back to you. I apologize for the error. If anything ever looks unusal on your order, please let me know. Our MINI line is a new part of the site and there are a few kinks to work out so I will be happy to assist with you matters like this anytime.

 

now thats cool!

 

Thanks -- that's unexpected, for sure. I will look forward to doing business with you in the future

 

I am also impresed, you've found yourself another customer Sewell Parts!!

 

There is also www.getbmwparts.com They are Tischer BMW in Silver Spring Md.

Find the Mini part you need and plug it in. Usually very good prices on BMW MIni stuff.

Also www.penskeparts.com I get a 10% discount for being a BMW CCA member. I also get 10-15% at my local dealer with my BMW CCA...
