Guys

I know I can get BMW parts on here, but where, in general, are good places to get cheaper parts from when needed?

Also, is there a rule of thumb that suggets when to go for BMW parts and when to go cheaper?

First part I need to get is a diff bush - BMW for £35 or.........?

Cheers...

I've always used Motormec in Lowestoft. O.E. parts but cheaper than a dealer.

Always check the price at BMW, sometimes they are very cheap and don't be affraid to ask for disscount, I get 10% sometimes 25% if its expensive.
If I can't fix it I'll f**k it up so bad nobody can!!
