Best place to buy OE Euro bumper?

[simon_c]

I'm looking to pick up an OE euro bumper and seeing if there is a good place to pick it up. I'm seeing it on ECS for about $666 but shipping is $300.

For those who are interested, I found this BMW dealer selling it for $626 and $200 shipping.

hmmm....I called them before I ordered mine and they told me over the phone they can't order any euro parts. Sounded like BS to me but I ended up ordering from Schmiedmann. It was cheaper than ESC and came in 2 weeks.

Interesting and thanks for the heads up. How much was the VAT?

You don’t pay VAT if you are shipping to the US.

Just order one from your nearest BMW dealer - no shipping fees. Mine came from BMW of Fairfax back when I lived in the DC area

+1 here. Same thing I did. This place: https://www.bmwpartsdirect.com/ ...happens to be 40 min from my house and is actually Flow BMW Mini. I ordered my IR windshield and a slew of other OEM BMW parts from them recently. Zero shipping is the best.

Getbmwparts.com is a good one. Tischer use to be a sponsor on the old forum, usually can source euro parts, and has good discounts around the holidays. Also the http://www.bmwpnpc.com/ is good if you know the part # so you can search all sites that carry it.

Yeah I just did this in last six months and posted about this in “euro bumper thread”. Although some dealerships might say they can’t order because it’s a “euro” part they actually can in this case. Check with local dealerships in area and their best price is almost always cheaper than price+ oversized shipping online. Benefit buying local dealership and picking up is no shipping cost. Some online searches may list it at decent price but then charge $150-$300 shipping. Also many dealerships will come down on price if you show them another dealerships advertised price (plus shipping). I’ve seen dealerships vary in pricing by $100s while being under 25 miles away.
