RealOEM....

Apparently they changed the lay out. It's annoying. And this does not please me. Thank god there is a switch to text button.

That is all.

Is there any advantage to using RealOEM when BMWfans.info has the graphical layout that makes it easier to find parts?

Not really, I just prefer it.

I find it easier to browse through as they all show up under one category instead of one clicking through everything as some parts has been put under a label where they don't even belong. Or maybe that is only a part of the swedish translated version..

I noticed that too the other night. It seems like they've also modified categories a bit. I spent a good 10 mins scrolling through different sections trying to find a part number for the grill piece that kidney rings snap into.

Well realOEM just changed the layout as the OP's text said, to the graphical layout.
And just like you i find it much easier to browse with the grapical layout as it will display everything under one subcategory instead of just some parts..
As the head category graphics is usually ignored, which leaves it to all the parts as in text mode but with all the contents showing up instead of just some. Which makes random parts easier to find imho.


KBHumphrey: That's easy to find with the new layout, as i said, it should list all the subcategorys and what they contain graphically after you click on a head category.. The overview should be enough for one to find the part quickly? No?

Has anyone ever tried PenskeParts.com? I saw an ad for it in Roundel and it looks like a nice alternative to realOEM.
