Sourcing parts

Prolifik · 04-06-2015, 05:05 AM

Hi guys
Just wondering where everyone is sourcing parts from for their n54's and alike locally..

Also, what overseas sources ?

overseas I use ECS http://www.ecstuning.com just bundle parts rather than small orders otherwise shipping is a killer

https://runautoparts.com.au/bmw.html in Vic carry some N54 parts like the thermostat for a good price, I use them for my e30 parts a lot.

Also interested in a local/Australian place to source parts and accessories. Seems like everything is overseas with a shipping cost that makes me want to throw up!

Local - Advan/BMR and Southern BM

Overseas - Schmiedmann and ECS Tuning

I have used RunAutoParts and have had no issues with them.

I agree, ECS Tuning seems like a good place to buy items if you're going to bundle to save on shipping. I have had no personal experience with them, but have only heard good things.

I've use ECS and they have great service. With the AUD going down and shipping cost going up you really have to check the cost locally first. 12months ago, from the US was an easy decision.

Good to know, ECS have good pricing on the Genuine flywheel and clutch kit.

Will be ordering that soon.
