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.

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

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.

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.
