Hi everyone,
going through a full restoration on a 77 630cs and was able to find about 90% of my parts list. I have purchased through a local bmw dealer, wallothnesch and Pelican. Does anyone have experience with https://www.online-parts.co.uk/bmw-spare-parts/ ? They read as having everything available which I find suspicious. Any recommendations on where I may be able to find the remaining list below?
Thanks!

Easiest is going to your local BMW dealer and say you are a CCA member and get a discount and they will let you know what the availability is of a given part. Been doing this for 30 years and too many places list parts they don't have. You should reach out to Mesa and La Jolla Independent for parts.
There are other German sites. Stephan Reiss is a good person and has tons of NLA stuff.....https://www.bmw-oldtimerteile.de/
You can also look at https://www.rogerstii.com/.
Also search Ebay.de. There are other German sellers. Use Chrome to auto translate.

I would not bother with the site you listed. I have found that if you search online now for anything you get results for places that do not have what you search for but it seems to be about getting traffic for your site. At best they tell you they are no longer available they take your money and then much later they refund you if you are lucky.
With BMW parts what happens is that as the number of parts decrease then the parts increase in price until they are no longer available. I bought a panel for €65 a couple of years ago and W&N are selling the panel for €265. They seem to buy the last items from BMW so they hold the only stock. If W&N and BMW Classic do not have the parts then it is a question of keep searching online but you will get to know the sites that do not have them.
BMW Classic sometimes reproduce parts and the price decreases but so does the quality in some cases. I have bought parts for older cars and the quality is not BMW quality.
