Where to get spare bolts/nuts/screws for decent price?
My car is missing a few screws here and there. It's also missing some important screws like one for the adjusting the passenger headlight. It just came out and flew away apparently.
Any thoughts on where to get these? I don't know of any junk yards in the bay area that are going to have BMW cars even relatively close to a 2013. I assume these things haven't changed much over the years but who knows. And I figure a dealership will ask $10+ for a single screw. So... :/ (Wasn't far off, they wanted $5.25 for a single $0.05 bolt) Last edited by TridenTBoy; 11-18-2017 at 04:26 PM.. |

Sometimes the dealer isnt as bad as you might think on nuts, bolts, plastic thingys. CCA helps out too, sometimes 50% depends on the dealer program.

It's not as bad as you think. IF you can find the correct bolt on McMaster-Carr or something, you often have to buy a bag of 10 or 25. So the single from BMW is best and it is 100% the RIGHT hardware. ECSTuning has pretty much all nuts/bolts. FCP has a poor hardware selection. GetBMWParts has everything at reasonable dealer prices.

Go to a junkyard and scrounge off some wrecked E90
