Even though Gary at newport BMW has good pricing, I guess... Is there anywhere else I can purchase OEM?

Looking to buy OEM 550i M side skirts.

All the aftermarket stuff i have seen just doesn't fit properly nor looks as good. Have a 535xi. Purchased the front bumper which was stripped, need to get all little accessories, grill, fog lights, fog bezels. Need side skirts to make it more complete.

I've used Gary and onlinebmwparts.com.

 

tischer / getbmwparts.com or bmwpartssource

 

+1 on the www.getbmwparts.com fast delivery and good prices.

 

+2 on getbmwparts.com I have used them many times for both of my cars.

 

My local shop recently started taking online orders. I think the prices have been at 20% discount and free shipping for over $200. Large parts have exceptions of course.

They use the same online service that Tischer is using but prices are better. Fred is the main contact and he has been very responsive:

www.getbmwparts.com is good and bad, kind of hit or miss IMO. Ive had great success from them, then other times like my current order where they are slow to respond, sent the wrong parts and after they "verified they were the correct parts that I needed", cant beat their prices though

 

+100...One time I ordered $200 worth of stuff from them. When I received the package with MY NAME on the address label, it had $900 worth of somebody elses stuff in it! Being honest, I took pictures of the wrong item and sent it to them. They were really quick to respond. However, they didn't ship my stuff until I sent them the wrongly shipped more expensive stuff back to them. :thumbsdown:

 

For those of us that live in fly over country there is BMW of Lincoln Nebraska. They have been helpful when I had a questions, timely on delivery also. Beats buying parts from the local DFW stealerships handsdown.

LOOKS LIKE THESE PRICES ARE CHEAPER RIGHT OFF THE BAT... I wonder if I call if they will be cheaper if I put a whole package together.

I have a local BMW dealership I am going to try first since its free shipping obviously. I want the side skirts/door sills or rocker molding whichever you'd like to call it. I know the replicas are great pricing I just am unsure about the fitment. It might be only minor but I want my body shop to paint the parts, and put them on NO PROBLEMS, I guess Ill have to pay more $$ obviously, just trying not to overpay through these BMW part websites.
