    This company sells original BMW parts. It's located in Vilnius, Lithuania, but don't worry: They are serious people and their service is fine. Naturally delivery takes some time, but quality is fine and prices are pretty good. Invoice may be in Lithuanian, but parts numbers are international. Enter your VIN and you get your relevant spare part catalogue.

    This company sells original BMW parts. It is located somewhere in the USA - I don't know where. It looks rather similar to BMWautoparts.net with the same structure in the parts catalogue - except there are photos of some of the parts AND, more important, the lists state how many of each item are needed.
    Personally I have not purchased from the company due to distance and tax issues, so I can not share any personal valuation. Perhaps someone else can?
