I am in need of some new parts. I need those tail light holder things. Those little black things that actually hold the bulb.

I also need some new fog lamps. One of mine is cracked and no longer werks. I figure its bout time I replace them. I dont want to spend a ton of money on new ones.

any good web sites where i can find these?
thx

you could try bimmerparts.com or I'd just go to the junk yard to get those black bulbs holder thing you're talking about. A few people sells the fog light on ebay for about 35-40 a piece so it's not so bad

You can get the fog lights at bimmerparts.com for $36 each. Don't know if they have the bulb holders for the tails. Call a BMW dealer for a price - they're probably not too expensive.

quick question. are parts all new on bimmerparts.com ?
They have OE radiator for e36 for like $145. This seems way to cheap to be new? Although I am not to fimilar with radiators. Mine has a small leak, so i have been on the look out for a new one.

Yes all their parts are OEM specs and are new. They don't sell used stuff, not that I know of anyway. The radiators are on sale for $115 so just to go their specials section. I think they only have less than 5 left in stock so you better hurry. That is an excellent price for a new radiator.

damn when was it $115? they got it as $145, this still doesnt seem like to high of price either. how hard is it to install myself, or would it be easier to have someone else do it?

Not all that hard to do. I'm going to do it myself this weekend actually. You should get new hoses and mounts while you're at it. Just a few bucks.

The upper radiator mounts are like $1, the lower mounts are another $1. The hoses are about $15 I think. They're all in the same category so just browse the parts for your car and look in the Cooling category where your radiator is.

On expensive stuff try www.alloembmwparts.com a.k.a. The parts Bin

Really nice, fast, and thier prices are the same as everybody elses. The catch..... anything over $50 ships UPS ground free, no matter what it is, exhaust or whatever.

noooo problemo... and while you're at it get the drive belts since those need to be replaced often. What year is your car btw? You might need to get the aluminum thermostat housing and the metal impellar also. Those are the things that I go so I can do it all at once.

Ouch, that is a bit expensive. I figured they'd be about a buck or two tops.
