Good Dealers for Cheaper OEM Parts?

Hey guys, been scrounging around shopbmwusa.com for different center ID's.

Anyone have a recommendation for BMW dealers? I want a part but obviously want to search for the lowest price.

So far, I have BMW of Monrovia as the lowest. Center ID: 31642

I find Tischer the cheapest. But what I usually do is print the price online & show it to my local BMW dealer parts department. They always match the price w/o any questions. Try your local dealer if they will do the same…

+1 for Tischer. You can always depend on Jason to answer all your questions prior to buying any parts there. I wish I lived near a good dealership with competitive prices on parts.

Thanks,
I would love to. You guys offer some great packages (like Mtech conversion packages that you have to piece together yourself elsewhere) but so far, you're also $200 more expensive for a single part and I've only looked at 2 other dealers

+1

This is how I got my performance exhaust for $1060 installed. Local dealer matched Monrovia's price and they estimated install at just 1 hour.

I've found Husker to be the absolute cheapest for Genuine BMW parts, but their communication isn't the greatest. They usually don't notify you when something ships and they don't update the order status online. Which really only matters when something isn't in stock. You are just kind of "in-limbo" wondering what the status is. Fine if it's a non-important thing, but otherwise I choose Tischer (or usually AutohausAZ.com or Pelicanparts.com as a rarely need Genuine BMW parts) if I need something fast. In Husker's defense I never call to see if something is in stock, I just place the order online and wait as most things can wait for a couple weeks. Husker's transit time is a day sooner since they are closer to me physically. Also I got a cam sensor shipped from Husker a few weeks ago and it came FedEx overnight - for free. Free shipping was a monthly promotion but I didn't expect overnight shipping.

Overall. Best prices, marginal communication. Best option if you won't get upset with a wait (for not-in-stock parts) without any status updates.

They also have had FREE shipping for the last two months. I ordered four ZCP rotors and got them with free shipping!

thebmwpartstore.com usually has just about the lowest prices and there customer service is also second to none. Free shipping over $100 also doesn't suck either.

That being said they are usually not the lowest when it comes to the performance stuff like the PE for example.

I ordered from http://bmwpartspros.com/ - Steve Thomas BMW

I found them to be the cheapest when I ordered my rear seat cover for me E93.
I have also ordered from Tischer before and they were excellent.
