Well, my radiator popped a leak the other day and I don't think it was unrelated to the tank exploding a few weeks ago. I was stuck. A new radiator from BMW was $450 or so, AutohausAz wanted $190, and BMA wanted $190. I needed the damn thing the next day, so next day air from Autohaus or BMA was in the neighborhood of an additional $150. Ouch...

Enter 'Partsgeek.com'.

I got a new Behr radiator and a new radiator cap for $185, and get this - overnight shipping was $25.

Got it today, as promised, and I am now back on the road for about 1/2 what it would have cost me anywhere else.

no way overnight shipping was 25$. How far away from the parts supplier are you.

They're in New Jersey and I am in Atlanta. I've been charged more than that for shipping of a few quarts of oil from 2 towns over....

And "Yes way" shipping was $25. Look at the date (yesterday at 11:30 am) and I have it now installed in the car...

So now I know where you live. Want me to bring mt dew or coke?

But phreal, just looked at brakes pads since I've been in the market. Selection was huge, price was same or slightly lower than other retailers, shipping was just as quick to me here in Va. Seems like they might not have a full parts selection, but what they have looks good.

I use them for stuff, from time to time. They almost always have the basic stuff, good prices and fast turnaround. Two thumbs up from me, also!

Partsgeek is the shit. I called them up at like 4:45 on Tuesday night - and was told I had missed the cutoff for overnight shipping. "Tony" offered to take $9 off the shipping charge in case I didn't recieve everything the next day. Sure enough, the parts were on my doorstep by noon the next day. Not to mention they were cheaper on nearly every part then BMA, Bavauto, and Bimmerparts

This is my new parts supplier for sure, partsgeek ftw
