BMA or Racing King has them.

Why? PepBoys is not generally well suited for BMW parts. BMA sells almost exclusively BMW parts and is extremely knowledgeable in BMW parts. They will sell you a TRW center link which is the same as the Lemforder unit except for the bag and box. It is not that much $$ and will be at your doorstep in a day or two. Why not use a good part with a good service history. Or, you could just shoot on down to PepBoys and snag one of their parts....roll the dice. After all, it is only the piece that ties the two front wheels together.

i highly doubt Pep Boys carries that part for a BMW. I would stick to Pep Boys for stuff like oil, cleaners, brake pads and bulbs only. BMA for the rest :)

checker and autozone can get or stock the trw part... but bma may have them for a cheaper price.. If you need it quickly then trw is trw whether you get it from checker autozone or bma... the only difference is that some of them offer a lifetime warranty on trw such as checker. I'm not sure if bma does or not.
