Hi!
Let me ask questions for buying parts in Germany.
Actually I will travel Germany( Munich and Hamburg) in November and I am considering to buy some parts in there.
But I don't have any experience and I don't know where I can buy BMW parts in Germany.
Please let's share your experience and where I can buy parts in Germany.
Thank you for all your inputs.

You can buy parts at the dealership. Some parts may have to be ordered so if I were you I would make a wishlist and e-mail it to a dealer nearby your vacation location.

You can order any part through a dealer ship. If you come this way, I can preorder your stuff so that you can pick it up when you get here.

As far as I have seen there isn't much difference in partprices between holland and germany.

He would have to fly to HI to see me if it's before November 17th...


Anyways...

BMW dealers have some stuff ready to go - some parts need to be ordered.
If you go to the BMW Niederlassung, they ARE BMW, not just dealers - they have some more stuff than regular dealers (non-Niederlassung).
Parts the dealer orders are usually delivered to him in two or three days.

I would suggest you try to buy the parts in Munich, since BMW Munich should have everything available, since it's their HQ. Or find a dealer on www.bmw.de and fax him (or call and tell him) the parts you want and they will be there when you come!
