No such thing....

I've found when I google oe, oem suppliers they are all the same price for the same part. They probly all pull from the same warehouses and suppliers then go with suggested retail mark up.

To me it depends on customer service and return policy.

hmm - back in the day (like 4-5 years ago) it was Morristown BMW in NJ. I live in CA tho so the shipping might be killer. At the same time don't want to buy from the local dealer and get killed on sales taxes...

I find ECS to be cheaper 90% of the time. If they had club discounts, it would be even sweeter, and I would probably shot there 100% of the time.

ECS tuning all the way! As said 90% of the time, they always have most of the parts i need no matter how odd they may be.. The 10% is either they don't have it or slight higher price, but still inexpensive regardless!
