Excellent CHEAP source of new genuine BMW parts

[Theo]

Not sure if I'm late to the game here but this site is excellent: http://www.leebmann24.de/

You can get instant prices on genuine parts and some are much cheaper than directly from BMW with their discount. For example I paid £108 for a part which was £150 here in the UK (with discount)

International shipping is €20 (for my order anyway, may vary) and you can pay by card, bank transfer or PayPal.

I have no affiliation with them but thought it worth sharing.

Is there way to convert to English? I can't find it.

[Theo]

No but Google translate should be adequate?

'Suchen' means search so that's where you plug in your part number (you probably figured that out already)

[kieran325]

Yeah I can do the basics, just wondering if it would switch to English as well.

Excellent, thanks for that

I've used them for £2500 worth of parts for my restoration so far and found them to be quite good , but not totally perfect. My first order with them was some body panels ( a few brackets and bits, not delicate like wings ) and the parcel was a massive oversize box with next to no packaging and arrived with a hole in it where everything had rattled around.

I did almost leave it there but tried again as the exchange rate was a good 1.42 ( now about 1.27 ) and they have been good so far, but don't think I'll use them for delicate electrics or things like wings as I've read they don't seamlessly take returns on faulty bits like a dealer would or another company. They also only reply in German and can make things tricky even with Google translate.
If you email them and say you are a member of a BMW car club, they will apply a discount of usually between 5- 10% on top.

It's also worth remembering BMW's own classic shop which has the same base prices in Euro money but with free shipping over a small amount including on large items like wheels and bumpers etc, Leebmann's fee will rise as the package weight goes up, so a set of wheels is I think 130 Euro shipping where BMW's classic shop will be free. Also there minimum fee is 15 Euro I think, so factor that in.
I've used BMW's shop for some things as I think I'd have a greater chance of less hassle if I wished to return anything or have problems. Either way, watch the exchange rate and if paying by credit card check how your CC company charges you for the conversion.

All good points, I read the same about the discount (which they obliged with) and also the dubious packaging on fragile items. Paypal's FX margin will be about 2.5%, credit/debit cards will be similar or a little higher - luckily I have access to interbank rates through work

That BMW shop is another good option, thanks for sharing.
