Thought I would give this software a shout out. It is a one man shop from what I can tell - it is aimed at BMW right now, but the guy behind it said he is working on expanding to Audi and Mini (Yay!) soon. It is software that runs under windows that lets you search multiple vendors by part number. I sent him some links to the better known Mini vendors to try and speed along the process - It already includes many of the 3rd party vendors we know as many also carry BMW parts, and of course, many mini parts have BMW part numbers ( I discovered some of the parts are cheaper from BMW dealers - always good to save some dough - just don't enter your VIN when ordering from a BMW dealer as they aren't supposed to fulful the order if they know the part is going on a Mini...).

I am not affiliated or compensated for this, just trying to help out and get some interest in the Mini community.

Awesome. I can certainly use this. Thanks for posting.

 

Nice idea, execution at least on my computer was somewhat lacking. It opened up multiple browser windows and left me with partial info on most of them. Ideally you'd want some kind of spreadsheet or listing to highlight the best pricing and availability. Hopefully they will refine it.
