Hi Everyone,
New to the BMW and E30 scene (see my intro post in new members section).
Call me a purist, but I always prefer using genuine/OE parts whenever possible. For our Audi I can easily source them from TPS or even better a friendly Skoda dealer (afterall it's all VAG group) that operates on Facebook that does them for even less, with no hassle about not being a trade customer.
Whar's the BMW equivalent? Who/what do you use?
Also, for looking up parts etc. do you use www.realoem.com or something else?
Many thanks.
Where do you source OE/genuine parts from?

There's also Cotswolds on this forum, who are able to supply OEM parts.
Which Skoda dealer(s) on Facebook do you use for VAG parts, out of interest?
