holy crap that was fast.
ok, so my FSR crapped out, and so I ordered one from
RockAuto Parts Catalog and they had the factory part, not an OEM but actual factory part and for a smart price too. shipping was about $35 to get it from the UK to Western Canada, but I got the prt in 4 days!!!!!!
Rockauto.com also has lots of parts for non bimmers too (and other Bimmers actually too)
I made two orders on the same day from Rockauto. One was shipping from Eastern US, and the other from the UK and I can't believe the UK shipment made it faster. WOOHOO. Daddy' gonna have heat in the X5 tonight.
