Where Do You Order Your Parts From?

jellydoughnutt · 10-24-2018, 05:07 PM

New owner here. It looks like I need to replace my thermostat (p0128), and will go ahead with getting a new water pump while I'm at it. What sites are the best to order from? I would like to go with OEM parts.

Mvy · 10-24-2018, 05:09 PM

FCP euro because lifetime warranty.

Aries326 · 10-24-2018, 05:18 PM

Mod bargains. It's easier to find stuff on it. Sorry, EAS. It's the truth. They're easier to navigate. I've probably bought more stuff from **********s because it was easier.

But for your part you probably need a different store.

I get OEM parts from ECS tuning. There is a thread on here bashing them for customer service but I've never had an issue with them so I will keep using them until that happens. Their prices are hard to beat and their website is solid.

I use fcpeuro or ecs. Mainly ecs. They have always been great for me

MaximusB · 10-24-2018, 06:43 PM

Oem - I go to my local dealer. I get staff discount there where I basically pay their cost plus 10%.

Mods - where ever is the cheapest. Although I am trying to avoid US sites as much as possible with the auto part tariffs, 25% on all US imported parts. Prime example, the mod I recently purchased was $200usd for the part itself. After shipping, exchange rate, duties and 25% tariff, by the time it got to my door I ended up paying $450cdn.

shimmy23 · 10-24-2018, 06:47 PM

ECS, FCPeuro, or Tischer.

Is this a trick question?

Only answer is, "Overnight from Japan"

This.

I will cross-shop these two and pick the best deal. Both have great customer service.

roastbeef · 10-25-2018, 04:09 AM

Fcp euro is great.

Mr. BMW · 10-25-2018, 07:36 AM

If you have a BMWCCA membership, most dealers will give you 20% off of parts. So thats a another option to consider.
I got my 359 GTS wheels and tire sensors from a dealer in NH. With the discount they were cheaper than anyone else.

NoHedge · 10-25-2018, 09:55 AM

FCP Euro, Turner, and ECS as a last resort

I never heard of that, sounds great! Is this an official policy or is your local dealer nice to BMWCCA?

spiderspider · 10-25-2018, 04:11 PM

ecs, fcp, and oembimmerparts.com (mostly for my other 2 bimmers)

brettcp · 10-26-2018, 02:31 PM

FCP Euro or ECS.. ECS has been consistently lower in price than FCP lately so I've been ordering more from ECS. Yes they have a packaging issue, nearly everything I order has its packaging damaged, but so far no product damage at all.
