ECS Tuning is honoring their gift cards, so that tells me it seems ECS tuning bought them out.
There are several place I like to use, Amazon, Pelican, getbmwminipartstore.com, FCP Euro, and at times ECS Tuning.

Pelican and Turner are under ECS Tuning umbrella. ECS did buy BA inventory but declined their property and WebSite.

BAVAUTO was a trustworthy group - took care of any issue I ever had - always reliable shipping.Originally Posted by bluptgm3
Real sad to see them go - Competition for parts may be getting tight and thus prices will stay high..
Anyone know what happened? Competition? or was it just time to retire?

They did offer some unique BA branded parts, also sorry to see them go.
Probably a combination of forces causing them to close -competition, age (40 yrs?), complexity of new models.…

Bavarian Autosport FAQ
Bavarian Autosport announced on March 8th, 2019 that it has closed its doors and will no longer be conducting business. This ends a highly successful 45-year run as one of the premier BMW parts houses in the world and as a standard bearer for our industry.
In the interest of looking after their customers and carrying on Bavarian Autosport's proud commitment to BMW and Mini enthusiasts, BavAuto reached out to ECS Tuning to see if we could lend a hand.
We at ECS have come up with a plan to help maintain BavAuto's legacy and assist BavAuto's customers during the transition by:
Honoring all BavAuto gift cards through April 30, 2019.
Providing warranty support for Bavarian Autosport branded merchandise
Maintaining BavAuto's longstanding support for BMW CCA chapters across the country
Continuing to stock Bavarian Autosport branded parts on ECS Tuning.com
