For parts common to LHD and RHD, I find the US sites e.g. Tischer BMW/getbmwparts marginally cheaper than AG sites but you would need to weigh in shipping costs, typically via freight forwarders like shipito if purchased from US. Courier companies also pick up from US suppliers. i purchase RHD parts directly from AG but EU companies tend to charge higher shipping than US suppliers.

Sorry what does AG mean?

[totti84]

Google - AG stands for Aktiengesellschaft, which basically means that it is a Corporation with stocks and shareholders

Really struggling to find 1M floor mats, even BMW can't provide me with a price or part number! Anyone purchased these before??

I have purchased a DME from getbmwparts and they were good to deal with. Being international I had to email a pic of my licence and credit card (numbers blocked out) to finalise the order.

They are parts department in Fischer BMW US. Jason and Evan are very helpful and responsive. My orders received in BMW packages.

With my very first order, I received the same verification request but the order was processed before I could provide the info required. All my subsequent orders to date have been processed without the same request.

I use shipito.com. I purchase my supplements and sports gear from US too and tend to combine multiple US purchases to obtain shipping economy. Shipito has shipping calculator which provides quotes from multiple agents including FEDEX, USPS etc.

Hopshopgo.. but I don't think I'll ever use them again.

They automatically add the GST onto the price if its over $1000 which is fair enough but I could have, if I was lucky get it through customs without paying the fee.

Anyway, they couldn't provide any sort of receipt to say this payment actually went to Australian customs. I had many conversations with them via their online chat but they just kept dodging the question so I'd assume they probably keep the GST amount if its never asked for. I'd rather it go to our government than them.

Yes Bloomfields does direct to home, most small parts are only $22 to Brisbane
Like 6 OEM spark plugs for N54 is $15.17 each and $22 to ship to Australia.
