i ordered my pressure bleeder along with some brake fluid from them, no problems. That has been my one and only experience, but it was good. Seems like they've been around for a while.

Bavauto is !00% reliable. They were about the first to deal in just about anything to do with all BMWs going back to my beloved 1600.
Don't even think about issues with them. They stand behind everything. Sometimes, however, you might be able to find better prices on some items elsewhere.

In the past BavAuto for hard parts in the past - very good supplier for OEM and aftermarket parts for BMW's

Great customer service, they really stand behind their products. I have ordered slotted rotors, brake pads, gaskets, euro reflectors, detailing products, etc. It has been over a year of buying them products. Last few weeks I ordered the valve cover gasket, the shipped part was for a N54 version versus my N52. I called them back and they are shipping the right part at no cost neither I have to return the wrong part. Reliable 100%
