Parts help

[130iguy]

so some arsehole crunched my rear bar tonight.. didnt leave a message or anything.. put a lovely dent in it and cracked my brake light.. perfect bullbar height by the looks of it..

so anyway can someone point me towards a decent parts supplier, tischer dont stock E87 parts i've been on realoem and know what i need just need to see how much i can get the parts for before i go see a panel beater..

i remember browing a parts website a few weeks back when i was looking at some BMWP bits but i cant for the life of me remember what the site was..

definitely wasn't Tischer or United.. it was pretty complicated to use as i recall

Bmminiparts from uk?

[alik01]

Sorry to hear it mate. Try bmminiparts.co.UK they are cheap and really good!

[130iguy]

Thats the one!! i couldnt for the life of me recall what it was.. thanks guys gonna drop into brisbane BMW and get the right parts numbers.. realoem & bmminiparts dont match up...

there goes my money for tyres....

Have a look at getbmwparts.com

Haven't tried them for OEM parts but they seem cheap just browsing.

Haven't you got insurance?

call a wrecker? you rear bumper and lights are straight from a 118i/120i etc.. plenty of those lying around in wrecking yards.

yeh they have good price but nothing for e87.. as they werent available in the states

i do have insurance but being so young making a claim for a relatively minor incident like this seems a bit silly given the increase it will bring on my premium..

PM me the parts you're lookin' for an I'll be happy to check on actual availability.

i'll definitely message you on monday, i'm going to go see my local dealer and get the right part numbers as there are a couple of variants for the rear bumper

Just thought i would update this so everyone could have a good laugh at BMW Australia's theievery..

parts most likely that will need to be replaced
51127837434 - M-Sport Rear Bumper (w/ park assist) ($651.45 AUD - Trade Price) Price through bmmmini 220.80GBP --> approx 337.746 AUD
51127837325 - Rear Bumper Insert ($104.40 AUD - Trade Price) Price through bmmmini 3.51 GBP --> approx 5.36879 AUD
63216924502 - RHS Brake Light ($214.86 AUD - Trade Price) Price through bmmmini 51.01 GBP --> approx 78.0233 AUD

now i understand BMW Aus are not running a charity but this mark up is ridiculous

still gotta be cheaper than buying locally?

[RadiuM]

yer, defintely.

But a bumper would be priced on volume not weight which would ramp the price up a bit for that part alone.

Yeah, for the size of that bumper, you should roughly be seeing the same amount when purchasing it locally.
