OEM Parts

Where's a good source for small OEM parts...like the plastic clips that hold my center brake light cover in place?

Where are you located? Many dealers have internet parts sales (like getbmwparts.com), but S/H can be excessive on small parts. Look up the price there & ask your local dealer if they can match it, or take your business elsewhere. Good luck!

Local Dealer.

Shipping and handling kill any discounted prices for small items like nuts and bolts from internet sites.

Who is your go to dealer in the Sacramento area?

On my recent suspension upgrade hardware, the internet beat my local dealer (Niello Elk Grove) although I cant say I have any special relationship with them to offer me top tier pricing.

I priced both very closely before deciding.

Suspension is more than small items, like nuts and bolts, which I specified and is the topic of this thread.

I have found no reason to pay $20 shipping and handling on a few bolts and fasteners that I can pick up for less than $1 each at the Dealership.
