So its kind of inconsistant then... the off name brands, no name goes very cheap and maybe for good reason?

Well, they are not bad, depends on the item. Have to check more parts and compare with my favorite Autohaus Arizona.

ignition wires are cheap respect. similar to Autohaus and of course both are cheaper than bavauto

As it's the name of a real place, I haven't used a profanity!

this site sure as hell beats the dealer for those oem parts noone else has. I've never bought anything from BMA so i'm not sure how that compares

www.bmaparts.com is still better in all respects. Cheaper prices, knowledgeable service, and shipping is FAST and cheap.

I take issue with "knowledgeable service". I do like their prices, buty I have been shipped incorrect parts on more than 1 instance. "Service" in that they corrected the problem both times was good, but it is aggervating to receive a radiator for a 525 on Friday when you ordered a radiator for a 535 earlier in the week, planning to install it on Saturday. I have switched my business from BMA to Autohauss for that very reason.

come on,has anybody ACTUALLY bought anything from this site? Buying from UK source and shipping in 50kg units would be cheaper so get together and order.

So far I have always ordered from Autohaus Arizona
www.autohausaz.com
I select usually global express mail which is cheaper compared to UPS or FedEx but takes longer.
For shipping cost to your country read under
www.usps.com
To Japan it takes about 10 days to arrive at my home. But of course it all depends on your local customs office, here they are pretty fast.
