How do I request a BMW part?

Use the request form with the registration or VIN, the part name and any visible part number. A supplier can then reply with details of the specific item offered.

How do I identify the correct BMW part?

Compare the OEM or manufacturer part number and revision suffix. Also check the model, derivative, year, engine or gearbox code, body style and connector details that apply to the component.

What is the difference between OEM, aftermarket and used BMW parts?

OEM usually identifies a part supplied to the vehicle maker's specification, aftermarket identifies an alternative manufacturer, and used identifies a previously fitted component. The listing or quote should state which type is being offered.

Will a listed BMW part fit my vehicle?

A registration or VIN helps narrow the vehicle, but final fitment should be checked against the offered part number, revision, vehicle codes and the supplier's written fitment information before purchase.

What terms should I check in a BMW part quote?

Check the supplier-specific condition, price, delivery and warranty terms, along with the returns information and photos for the item offered.

Which BMW models and part categories can I search here?

The model links on this page cover 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3, X5. Use the category links or part request form to describe the component you need. Listing coverage can change, so use the vehicle and part identifiers when searching or requesting a quote.

Choose the right BMW part

Start with the exact vehicle. A registration or VIN helps identify the BMW model and derivative, but the details still need to be checked against the offered part.

Compare the OEM or manufacturer part number on the original component with the number in the listing or supplier quote. Engine, gearbox, body style and connector details can also affect fitment.

OEM, aftermarket and used parts describe different supply routes. The listing or quote should identify which type is offered and describe the specific item's condition.
