Buy Mini parts That ship from europe

[iddrew]

If This thread is already open i excuse myself from now but i have not managed to find it

So i'm being faced with a bit of a challenge.
I'm From Malta and own a 2004 Mini Cooper S R53.

I just bought it and it was really low on oil so after reading how easy it is to do, i decided to change the oil and oil filter myself.

The Official MINI/BMW dealer in Malta asked me for Eur150 (roughly £125) for an oil filter, O-ring, Drain Plug, and Oil (Just for the parts not installation). I found this outrageous especially when i found the same parts for Eur50 (roughly £42) on online stores. However these online stores are located in the USA and shipping costs almost double as much as the parts Do.

So i need your assistance guys, do you know of any online stores that sell mini parts like what i require that ship products from europe (like uk or germany or italy etc...)? reason being that shipping is always WAY cheaper

I appreciate your help,

Thanks a bunch,
Andrew

you will need 4.5lts of oil for oil and filter change you don't have to use castrol edge a lot of guys have gone to mobil 1 or castrol magnetec as long as it is fully synthetic 0w30 or 5w30 you should be ok it depends on what you can get locally
