Question Is iwantautoparts.com a legit BMW parts site?

Has anyone ever used this site for parts? IWantAutoParts.com - OEM BMW Parts and MINI Parts and Accessories - their prices are INCREDIBLE and they seem to only charge a flat $15 for shipping regardless of weight. The site looks very legitimate and the prices are very tempting. But the location of the "corporate" site worries me - it appears to be a house according to googlemaps 5 Nob Hill Court Setauket, New York 11733 - Google Maps

*****UPDATE***** Well, I finally got in touch with them thru their customer service # - it routed me to Habberstad BMW in Long Island, NY - it turns out they are legitimate - I think the parts ship from either of their 2 BMW dealerships - they will not ship batteries - I asked, which would have been nice for an 850 amp battery @ only $183!!! Other than that, I don't know if their prices can be beat. Let me know if they can - Pacific BMW could not. Don't know what to think about the location listed as their corporate site. Glad to know the parts come from a BMW dealership, though.

+1. Still seems too good to be true.

Their selection seems pretty limited. I tried a few part numbers and came up with completely different results.

Stupid name for an OE BMW parts website I have to say.

I typed the part numbers in to the search function and came up with every suspension component I was looking for...at much much cheaper prices as well...

Seems legit...

Glad I could help. I definitely intend to use them. I'm placing my order next week.

I didn't say it wasn't legit, just that their part selection is poor.
