Where to buy aftermarket BMW parts
locoboy - 6/2/10 at 11:40 AM

Guys,

Mrs Locoboy's 2006 335 coupe is out of warranty now and it needs a set of rear pads and Discs.

Can anyone reccommend a good aftermarket supplier of such parts? any ideas on an equivalient spec part to OEM BMW parts.

Thanks

I looked at them but they only seem to do the common 3 series range E46, the one we have is the E92

Euro Car Parts seem to be listing them for the later 3 series

I'd strongly reconmend ECP - but only cause i'm about to start working for them

(they do oem stuff and aim to cover every car in the uk so you should find what you want and have a choice of aftermarket or OEM.)

When I do BMW rear brakes I always change the M10 bolts that hold the caliper carrier to suspension to stainless steel bolts with full size hex heads (17mm) it makes much easier next time.

work for them or have a contract with them to supply them with ford parts to sell on to the rest of us?

We didn't discuss employee discount in the interview ... suspect i won't get one as i actually work for a third party and not ECP directly.

Although i may be able to help with part numbers / cross references / stock availability / generally looking stuff up.

my post isnt very clear... i meant you sell parts TO them from your stockpile of Ford parts!
