Hey 8er family!
It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything with the car but I’ve been able to make some time lately for a small project and am in need of parts.
Back in the day it was Dave Belknap and last time I bought a part it was Charlie Spear at Gault.
Is Charlie at Gault still the best source for E31 parts and pricing?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Charlie retired a while back but you can still get parts there. The new contact is Scott Armstrong at the same number 855-300-9578.
Ask for Scott Armstrong in the parts department.
Hope that helps!
Bob
I have ordered parts from Gault and Scott recently. They have been very helpful. They also sponsored our 2018 Chapter Photo contest.

CALL your orders in to Sterling BMW (Scorebmwparts.com) as directed on the page.
The online store will likely remain closed, but they are still the best price in the Country for parts that I've found.

For many years I have used Shop Genuine OEM BMW Parts and Accessories | getBMWparts. This is the BMW of Silver Springs (MD) dealership. Prices are often less than FCP EURO and ECS. I have the drivers side, lower door gasket coming from Germany through them at this time. I put off replacing this worn rubber gasket for too long.
Another one is mybimmerparts.com It's Passport BMW in DC. Much better pricing than ECS/Turner/Pelican and FCP for genuine stuff. Responsive and quick shipping too.

For any EU specific E31 parts (there are many) that don’t show up as available from US sites, Schmiedmann.com is my go to site.
Shipping usually averages 30-40 bucks unless I’m buying something bulky, and their prices are usually lower than US sellers.
