Hi All,

New to E30's and was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where to buy E30 parts online?

I've found a number of them through Google and just wanted to know if there is a particular one people tend to use.

Couldn't find any similar posts on here so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

A lot of people use "Jon" from Cotswold on here, he is very very good and is part of the BMW team in this country.
Car parts for less and Euro car parts (same people ) are OK but they screw up now and then .

Don't touch CP4L or ECP anymore, either for E30 parts or for other makes and models. Autodoc.co.uk is where I buy from these days - you get the brand of parts that you choose and usually for less money, and the option of an insurance policy against buying the wrong part.
In spite of the UK web address, they are based in Germany, so delivery might take a couple of days extra over CP4L/ECP.

I use Autodoc or BMW suppliers such as Leebmann here in Germany or Cotswolds in the UK.

That's about it.

I use both Jon at Cotswold and Auto Doc neither with any problems , keep checking the prices on AutoDoc as they do have a " flexible" price policy
