autohausaz.com is competitive and bavauto.com is good occasionally, especially since they have OEM parts now.

Some of the autohausaz stuff (E46 OEM headlights and foglights) I ordered has come from Charlotte warehouses.

I usually juggle the three of them. A lot of times pelican bribes me with coupons.

Check http://realoem.com/bmw/ for OEM parts.
Pelican Parts was pretty darn cheap for little trim pieces and stuff that I ordered from them. Surprised to see their quote so uncompetitive.
What car and what parts?

Jgenerally pelicanparts tends to be competitive, but you still have to shop around.
try rockauto.com as well

^^ yeah RealOEM is great for part numbers, I have been using them for years. But I needed to order parts. Yes I've got a good friend or two at the dealer but I didn't want to pay $150 if I didn't have to.
I needed a throttle pedal module for e46 330ci- after a phone call to a buddy at a german shop in MD I was pointed to ECS Tuning. Good to have friends in the know, as you can see they had the best price shipped. I was even able to check out with my paypal account- probably not important to you who use bank cards or whatever but I was pleased. The whole process took 30 seconds literally.

I don't use rockauto because I prefer to get the parts I order.

A little off topic but what was the issue you had that required replacing that module? Just curious and for future reference on my e46

12/9/2011 11:48:27 PM

It broke (literally)

I always had good luck with Pelican Parts. Good customer service and selection of different manufacturers.

12/11/2011 9:33:42 PM

bmwmercedesparts will provide a quote, their shipping is really cheap. I had a hood, 2 wheel arch liners, 2 air ducts and grill mesh shipped overnight for $30.

uh huh

Quick follow-up, very happy with the service and price from ECS Tuning.

The original pedal module failed because of the floor mat getting pinched in it. Look at the pedal in your drive by wire BMW and you'll see what I mean.
