online part suppliers?
Yikes!
So I stand behind the car and look at the rear wheels… one wheel has negative camber and the other wheel has positive camber. Oh yeah there is a huge clunk when I shift from 1st to 2nd . I figure at the very least I’ll need sub frame mounts and trailing arm bushings.
Yeah, the car is a little loose in the rear at highway speeds
I saw in another thread how to remove the sub frame mounts using a sawzall and vice grips.. sure beats the Bentley method.
Anyway I’ll put the car up on jack stands and do a proper investigation.
I’m really sick of buying parts locally .
Where is a good place to order BMW stuff online?

online parts sources
This is my favorite mail order source. Free shipping for orders exceeding $50. Slow because I am on the east coast. I'd like to know if any other outfit can beat their prices.

This is my favorite dealer parts source. Go to the ETK, get the part number , copy and paste to order online. No free shipping and I pay taxes too because they are located in New Jersey where I live. I'd also like to know if their prices can be beat.

Yes, BMA , who a large number of people on this
board buy from exclusively can beat autohausaz prices, not only that but they frequently take my order at 3pm and i have the parts before 10 the next morning. They also got saab trionics parts for me at a much cheaper price than i could get locally.

My supplier is: http://www.mr-auto-parts.com/ and they do use a warehouse in Harrisburg, PA. I believe all BMW parts are available from PA parts... any MB parts will come from California.
