Subject: Parts prices reality check.... Author: B5M2W8 (moderator) : member since March, 2004 : 523 posts Posted on: 2005-04-16 17:10:18

I've been doing some parts hunting lately for my 97 528i and I thought i would share my findings. Sorry I havent been able to make it to anything lately, I've been pretty busy/lazy combined.

If you guys didn't know, it looks like you can order off of Motorwerks website if you know the part numbers of most of the stuff. I didn't dig into the site too deep, just enough to get some of what I needed.

Note the major differences between Motorwerks online prices and their in store prices (with CCA discount). After hearing a few of them, i gave up and just asked for what I needed because I knew I didn't want to hear the rest. I didn't care why the difference because I know it's not worth arguing with them. On the plus side though, the guy was really nice and was going to give me a $5 off deal on the 5 series generation poster thats in the parts office there but he went to look and they were all out.

I know this is only a small sample, (BMW parts vendors) but I hope it can help some of you out. In red is what I bought today. Anyways, on to the findings:



see ya,
Steve
