Need a good parts store - United Bimmer Community

Got any recommendations for which online auto part store is recommended for price and service type qualities?

**Rooz** · 02-16-2006, 10:15 AM

for...?

**nightdevils** · 02-16-2006, 10:24 AM

eh... brake pads, lines, kits, fluids etc.

**nightdevils** · 02-16-2006, 10:25 AM

oh add to that all the tools necessary to do a good prolike brake pad & fluid replacement job... that is pressurized bleeder and other tools necessary

Is bimmian a good store? They have the hawk HPS for real cheap there now!

**komodo** · 02-16-2006, 11:24 AM

Bimmian is very reputable. Turner Motorsports and Bavauto are also great choices.

I don't think you're going to find any ONE source for all goods. You have to shop & research - ALOT. My bookmarks alone have some 70+ sources for different items. Then another 50+ for information, diagrams, etc.. Best bet is to shop and ask folks here because they have dealt with tons of sources.

**nightdevils** · 02-16-2006, 11:46 AM

hmmph, that brings up an interesting idea, there should be a way to share bookmarks, a collaborative way to share links....what do you guys think?

www.understeer.com has great customer service.

**nightdevils** · 02-16-2006, 05:26 PM

Haha and awesome prices too! Hawk HPS front and rear for $125! Storamin, u da man!

www.discounttiredirect.com for tires.(seriously) If you a member of the BMWCCA the dealership is nice for the hard to find and the mundane, but shop around first. I just picked up a crapload of parts (stupid little things) bavauto and pelican had both but the dealership was actually less. So I rolled the savings into a new speaker which was almost impossible to find.

I've bought from them in the past, has some shipping issue, they took care of it and gave me free stuff...
