Where to buy factory parts?

It seems that my business is not good enough at a certain dealer after spending over $1k since August. My latest order came and some bolts I ordered were deleted with no reason given. Hey at least they refunded the money, but still

This is not the only time they've botched up an order.

So what are some recommended NAM venders that sell factory parts?

My nearest dealer is 250 miles away so a local option is out.

Waymotorworks, ECS tuning, outmotoring to name a few. All the vendors on this site are great and have ordered parts from just about all of them. ECS is very good at finding parts for you, that can be hard at times.

ECS and Way Motor Works are both on here regularly. ECS is particularly helpful about posting parts diagrams, while Way also has a shop and can make suggestions based upon experience. Outmotoring is another option, as is Detroit Tuned. I've personally done business with all four of them, and will again.

We don't list every factory part on our site, but we can get you any factory part or if we have an aftermarket one that is as good quality we will suggest that for you to save some $$. Look at our site and if you don't see what you want just shoot me an email.

Just some more information.

PenskeParts.com (Penske MINI in RI I think, 10% discount for BMW CCA members)
Sewell Mini in Tx
Morristown Mini
Prestige Mini (both in NJ)
Getbmwparts.com (Tischer BMW in Silver Spring MD)

Of course WAY Motor Works

ECS Tuning

BAVauto.com
Outmotoring
Alta
NM ENgineering

BMP design

LOTS and lots of places to spend money.

My favorite is Pelican (surprisingly not listed yet).
I've found their prices to be the best

Sewell MINI of Plano, probably the best dealership in the country. Give their parts department a call and they will exceed your expectations every time.
