Best place for Genuine BMW accessories

Hi All,

Just wondering if the dealership, BMW website or some other third party is going to be best for BMW accessories. I'm after some bits for mine, but also looking at car seats, rear seat entertainment etc. for my father in law.

Contact Cotswold BMW through the BMWLand forums and you get a discounted price.

Have used Rich @ Cotswolds a couple of times - you can also contact them throught the BMW5.co.uk forum.

Good service and quick delivery on the parts.

This place can be cheap if they have the bits you need:

Saved loads on a door seal there.

Or any UK based BMW forum.

E36coupe.com have Cotswold for genuine new parts and Shropshire for new and used...but I guess OP wants new...and I think Shropshire might only be e36 and e46.

If you don't know the part numbers, go onto RealOEM and you should be able to find it. Also, granted they are usually full price, but you can find stock here and they will ship to you.

Well no, because E90Post UK for example have Sytner instead

Haha, well, lots then.

I'd rather hand craft the accessories out of road-kill than pay a penney to Sytner tbh.

I do fear that asking this question may have repercussions for years to come because scouring the various websites for 'cool' bits of bmw kit could get very addictive and very expensive!
