I used to use Tischer BMW for all my parts needs, but they are no longer catering to the MINI. I'm looking for a variety of parts, from gasket sets to wiper blades to interior plastic clips. Who is a good one stop shop that I can order everything online with just clicking the mouse? Thanks
Bavarian Auto is great. They're in NH, but their shipping is quick and customer service is top notch. Prices are reliably better than the dealer. bavauto.com
both outmotoring and bavauto do not show the parts I am looking for directly from the website. Penskeparts did, but their prices were more along the lines of what the dealership wants.
Oh. I usually just plug in the parts numbers from RealOEM and go. They're good on the phone if you have questions, too. But yeah, if you're looking for pictures, like they have for most of their BMW stuff, you're out of luck with BavAuto. For BMWs it seems like there's a dozen good parts dealers that sell the whole BMW catalog plus their own stuff plus parts sourced directly from the vendors, with websites that are easy to navigate and suggestions for additional parts. Not so for MINIs. ....Actually, ECS Tuning isn't bad. Hadn't looked at their MINI section but I just browsed through. Check them out.
For stock parts I use Classic Auto Campus with the NAM 20% discount. If I'm getting an aftermarket replacement, RockAuto is good, as are several others. Matt
