| Parts source - few noob questions Well, I have crawled around a bit underneath and such and figure I need: 1) muffler/pipe from cat back - it is the original on there now!! 2) front wheel bearing/hub assembly 3) dash trim around headlight adjustment knob - Customs "inspectors" ripped it apart among other things - piss me off... 4) injectors, plugs and wires. maybe new distrib cab. dont know yet - idles rough. tough to start hot and cold. Sure it needs more  - but this is a hefty start.I was hoping you guys could point me in a good direction for mail order parts - hopefully in Canada to avoid Customs/Duty tax. I live in a land far from BMW dealer. All we have is NAPA and Lordco. Should I go OEM for all this stuff? GOt my Bentley manual yesterday.  Thanks guys, much appreciated. Johnny |

| Senior Member  | Read above post, Al should be the cheapest place to go locally. Myself order parts from states , bfbmw.com. pelicanparts, bma. calculating + duty + shipping still way cheaper if you buy in big quantity. you can ship to PR or blaine as well and pick it up there. |

| Member | If your looking for used parts for your interior or anything else then try bimmerparts northwest here on the island. They are a BMW dismantler, huge shop with everything stored inside. Their only 10 minutes away from me and I have used them many times. Find their service first rate. |

| Thanks guys. Will contact Al direct. RE; the trim, thanks for the used parts idea Redline, but not sure if any N. American spec got the headlight adjustment. IF not, I will likely have to order this from Germany. Looked up part #'s on RealOEM. Johnny |
