BMMINIPARTS any experiences?

Post by rc944 » Mon Oct 28, 2013 6:00 pm

Just pulling together some prices from the usual suspects ie GSF and ECP etc and then came across the above. Seems keenly priced for original bmw parts but the carriage kills some of the savings for me

anyone any experience with them?

I think his parts usually came from German dealer overstock or similar. When the demise of the exchange rate started, so did his prices

Cooks Ferry Engineering might be worth a look. I've never dealt with them but they've been going for years.
