Where do you guys buy OEM RHD parts/accessories?

[totti84]

Hey guys,

I'm specifically wanting to purchase OEM alcantara shift and parking brake boots.

ECS Tuning cannot confirm whether these 2 parts will fit RHD, but seeing as our centre consoles are reversed, I doubt they will fit

http://www.ecstuning.com/ES46520/

http://www.ecstuning.com/ES264400/

Other than BMW dealers, where can I source these 2 parts?

Is there any sites I can cross check for RHD part numbers?

Thanks for any guidance
Steve

Also have used Schmiedmann recently. For aftermarket parts I like NH-Tuning or ECS.

You could also order RHD parts from schmiedmann.com or leebmann24.de

Just use RealOEM.com to find the part numbers you need.

Real OEM for part number and then schmiedmann.com for the order. For non RHD specific stuff I buy from ECS as I have a freight forwarding service in the US there that makes freight costs extremely cheap and extremely fast. ($35 for 4 pistons arrive within a week.)

Schmiedmann have been good for the couple of things I have ordered.

I made my first order with ECS and Schmiedmann today!

I am having trouble finding any part numbers or links specifically for the OEM RHD alcantara shift boot.

Has anyone purchased this (where) and have the part number available to share?

[woosh]

ebay uk has a few advertised on there from what I remember

For the OEM factory upgrade 'BMW Performance' alcantara boots try Andrew at SouthernBM. If he is close in price, support the local guy, and they support you. And you know they will fit! (BTW, I bought some cheap ones off ebay, and they were rubbish... The OEM ones are much better, I agree).

Apparently SouthernBM is the largest distributor of BMW performance parts in Australia.

Thanks Walnut, I called Trivett's Parramatta yesterday and they still haven't gotten back to me.. will try SouthernBM this arvo!

This is what I ordered for my LCI 135i. The mirrors power fold, auto dim, are heated and the passenger side dips when the car is put in reverse.

Thanks PeteA.

so all the parts come separately and then you have to assemble it yeah? no colour code for the outside of the mirror and they just come in primer?

[PeteA]

Yes to all the above

[Rethgif]

PetaA, did you get hammered for GST and duty when your parts arrived?

(I have just received a quote on same and wondering if it is better to split the order)

[PeteA]

I did the old "could you mark the items as less than 1000AUD trick" Most vendors dont mind if you ask them nicely and accept that in shipping they are only covered for the amount listed.

[Rethgif]

Thanks PetaA, I thought that might well be the case
