Concours BMW vs International BMW

[wasnt m3]

It's still a BMW dealer, they are now called BMW of Milwaukee North.

Megasquirt does NOT like cheap crank position sensors and others, on here even, have had poor results trying to get something OE anywhere but the dealer, otherwise I have really been able to find everything else I need online or even at that European parts place right next to the Zoo interchange

Doesn't look like this has any effect on the "concours" BMW show according to the badger bimmers event calendar

I talked to Darcy about this and she said at the time that everything as far as board meetings and the concours show were to remain the same.

Concours because doughnuts. Like the pastry

The trick to getting someone to answer at IA is getting the direct extensions to peoples phones. Ryan and Ken at Concours are the guys to talk to for parts.

[straight6pwr]

they probably don't answer cause they don't like getting laughed at when they give out parts price quotes.

[wasnt m3]

Why is everyone so against buying parts from the dealer? Compared to most manufacturers, bmw is one of the most reasonable. I may be a little biased by getting a dealer discount, I suppose.

[andyhundley]

I would rather buy parts at retail from BMW verses Toyota.

[Earl]

I buy parts from what was Concours all of the time and the pricing is fantastic=)

Fords OEM pricing is amazing and really competitive with the aftermarket.

I don't hate OEM parts just some of the OEM pricing.  Brake and steering/suspension is typically way over priced.

It is now either BMW of Milwaukee North or Umansky if you don't feel like saying all the words for BMW of Milwaukee North.  We continued to use Concours BMW as the name until we were provided new ad templates, etc. for the new name.

Just ordered a new wheel lock key from Danielle W. of bmw north/umansky via emails and she was very helpful with ordering and shipping. I live an hour away so I didn't want to make a drive to order and then pick up. Great service.

I did not have the best experience at IA.  Living in Milwaukee I now use Zimbrick exclusively.  They have been very easy to work with.  The drive also gives me some seat time on the open road.  Worth it in my opinion.
