So I've been buying parts from these guys for awhile, mostly for doing my own work. Paul JR is very knowledgable and they give me great prices and service.

However I recently bought a whole new clutch kit and all related seals but then broke a rib and was unable to do the work. So I take it to a local vancouver shop, they start work, realize my flywheel has been upgraded to single mass and that I need different clutch parts. The guy in the shop recognises the BMV writing, calls them inquiring about parts, BMV drives into Van, exchanges the parts within the hour and my work proceeds no fees incurred. How great is that?

BMV, on bridgeport road near knight (easy access from Vanc. without venturing too far into Richmond)

I've been driving past that sign for years and wondered how they are. Do they do labor too?

MikesJo · 01-23-2007, 03:06 AM

I think my dad used to use them. Small shop back then, one or two lifts I think and quite cramped? They were pretty good at diagnosing things. Labor is pretty close to what CG charges. I recentlly found a new guy for parts in the lower mainland whose prices are comparable if not lower than BMA. We'll see how it goes

I drove by that place a million times, always wondering what they do. The BMV looked alot like BMW. So i figured they must have BMW parts.

Never actualy been there. But now that it has been talked about. Iam defently going there. Its right on bridgeport

+ Affordable Parts`s workers are freaking assholes.

THere are 2 seperate companies there. I've never used the shop in the back but I really like the parts business in the front.

I don' think they have similar owners.

Awesome prices! my dad uses BMV for all the stuff for his 318ti and his benz's. I went to them for my clutch hydrualics and they were way cheaper than anywhere else.

Great guys too!
