Hi, for the English members, where do you get your BMW mini parts from, apart from rip off BMW that is. I am struggling to find any parts, and I dont mean to upgrade or race tune it, I mean just standard replacement parts. Has BMW kept everything close to their hearts, because I cant even get an exhaust bracket! I'm desparate for a front wheel bearing kit but it seems i have to pay at least £100 for that. Anyone got any hidden suppliers??

euro car parts have an ad in modern mini. just had a look and front wheel bearing will be arounnd the £100 mark like you said, but have a look you might find something you need there. hope this helps

Ebay is good for optional extras like JCW stuff. German Dealers are at least 1/2 the price. I've bought JCW cailpers and pads, Works spoiler and a couple of other things. All in excellent condition and good delivery time.

For normal parts I would go to the dealership as them to be reasonable priced for certain things compare to 3rd party parts.

You are right about struggling to find parts as i to searched around thinking BMW would be expensive but actually i found the dealers parts prices to be reasonable. The parts guy said to me and i quote " the parts aren't too bad its the labour we sting you on "
If you look on ebay there is frequently someone selling stronger copies of the exhaust brackets.
