It's all local people and they're all pretty friendly.

If you need parts (which of course you will) Pelican Parts and GetBMWParts are the best prices and both are reasonably quick.

As mentioned above, getbmwparts doesn't ship to Canada anymore.

autopartsway .ca doesn't have everything, but they have a lot, and the best prices (free shipping in Canada over $75)

I don't work for them.

Not true, I ordered a part from GetBMWParts in March 2012.
It is true that they had stopped for a while, due to pressure from BMW Canada, but that was back in 2010.

I have also started getting parts from Rock Auto... cheaper than Pelican and shipping is lightning fast!

ProjectTechnik is pretty good for the marketplace, and they seem pretty friendly, but being local not as active, might take sometime to get responses.

Im bias because im an avid PT member, but this couldn't be more far from the truth. In most cases, forum posts are answered usually within minutes of being posted as long as the topic is relevant and/or interesting. Great bunch over there and a couple ticketed mechanics who always share their insight.

Actually, Autoparts way doesnt have the best prices.

I price quoted out a valve cover gasket for an E36 on Autoparts way, and they wanted $36 which was on sale from $50! BimmerSpecialist.ca had the same gasket for $26.99. I did this with other OEM parts too, and Autopartsway was still more expensive

BimmerSpecialist.ca has tons of OEM parts (searchable by part number) for great prices. My last two orders were both over $150 (one was $200+) and on both orders shipping was about $10. And they have 5 day ground shipping. Order Monday, have parts friday!



I dont work for them either, i am just extremley happy with their product inventory, customer service, and prices.

I joined bimmerfest after I got my x3, I like it so far.

BTW, does anyone know a BMW mechanic that I can just shoot a quick question to? I'm looking for the transmission fill plug for my 2004 2.5i x3. For some reason it's not the same as the 3.0i

Call Nurburgring Ltd, or Viteks.

Nice Community To Discuss About BMW Cars.
Well Sharing.

I am with E46Fanatics.com, good bunch of guys but not really local. I registered at ProjectTechnik but they must not have liked my "StiffNights.ca" user name as the moderator never activated my account. I never bothered to reregistered again as I didn't want to do a multi account. Other than that, from what I saw, it was a nice little forum with locals.

PM natty54, he can get you OEM parts among other things. He's a good guy, I bought some ATF from him with no hassle.

Here's his euro drivers thread: LINK
