I need a passenger side foglight for a 2013 bmw 328X sedan.

Dealer wants $230 so I just lol'd cause I know for a fact you can buy it online for way cheaper. The problem is I can't remember what website I used 7 years ago.

Which ones have you guys used recently that are reputable. Thanks.

Autopartsway maybe?

Know anyone that works at Pepsi cola? They get the largest discount at Napa (Don't ask why) that I've seen.

I bought an exhaust tip for my ISF from rock auto and the part that showed up looked nothing like my stock tips. Wrong colour, wrong finish, wrong angle, etc. It bolted up perfectly but didn't look right at all on the car. I ended up returning the part and ordering it from Lexus.

Check out Pelican parts (used to be bimmerspeciliast) for your foglight. Same thing happened to my dad's car and that's where I got the replacement.

$68usd on pelican parts but no idea on shipping.

Might just ebay it and get a feedback. At $120 it's 50% off still lol

But got a pm from a beyond member so will see what he says tomorrow.

Sometimes you can get 'consolidated' shipping which is cheaper, but takes longer. The last time I looked though the price of the 'consolidated' went up considerably though :(

I've never had a problem with their shipping rates, mind you I usually wait and buy several things at once.

Max, do you want inexpensive quality OEM replacements, or just cheap? If you're looking for the first one, then don't go Rock Auto, it's cheap stuff that works, but isn't quality.

Holy shit! That's even worse than Mrs. Penguin's Murano foglights.

www.aliexpress.com for sure isn't OEM but for something as lights, led's are pretty reliable cheap.. etc.. 4 weeks shipping though

www.rockauto.com is always decent

www.ecstuning.com (isn't cheap) but have all OEM parts.

www.getbmwparts.com has everything as well but as you mentioned doesn't ship to Canada, if you have someone in the US you must send them your ID, and photo of MC before they send to them..

I cross shop between ECS tuning, Eeuroparts, FCPeuro, and pelicanparts but CAD is kinda whack right now so I've been holding off on making an order.

ECS is usually cheaper than other places.

Eeuroparts is sometimes good for heavier items like fluids, etc. they ship to Canada brokerage/duty free. Bought a bunch of stuff (radiator, w/p, t-stat, etc.) from them in the past when their shipping to Canada was flat rate $9.95 lol. Now shipping price varies.

FCP is alright, price is close to other sites on most items.

Pelican parts is good as well, their prices are a bit higher compared to ECS though I noticed.

What do you need?

Whack load of things. Brake pads and rotors, coolant reservoir, window switches, filters, maybe fluids. How is shipping from those American sites? Brokerage fees?

I paid $35 ish shipping on a $1000 order from pelican, shipped via USPS $50 tax bill when it came to my door.

ECS has a bunch of different shipping options, UPS, FedEx, USPS..

I ordered my coolant reservoir tank kit from them (tank, coolant level sensor, reservoir cap) can't remember shipping cost.

Most of these sites ship via USPS starting at around $35 and up.

Ordering rotors online won't be worth it because they are heavy, better to try and find those locally.

Best to make a list of everything you need and use RealOEM.com for part numbers and then price everything out on each site so you get a good idea for shipping costs.
