      I'd always rather drive to Concours when I lived out that way but now that I have used Zimbrick a few times they're better than both!

        Only thing I've ever gone to the dealer for in the last few years has been getting another key for my e30 and I went to Concours. I will say, however, that my both of my parents are leasing cars from there and have had nothing but positive experiences.

            First you tell me HPF is done and now you tell me Concours is closed.  Don't you have any good news!  You're like the grim reaper of shops!

                  I will say, International Autos parts department sucks. I have to deal with them relatively frequently. It is almost impossible to get a hold of them via phone. Funny how I can be there ordering parts and just watch the employees ignore every phone call while the phone is just ringing nonstop. It takes less time out of my day to look part numbers up on real oem(which I can do faster than their employees) and drive down there to order parts. Forget about getting the parts delivered, most of the time I need to call to see if they have even come in. I have even had special ordered parts from Germany that took weeks to recieve supposedly sold (not that anyone else would have ever bought them) even though they were prepaid. Absolute garbage on all fronts there.

                      so what is it? Umansky Motor Cars or BMW of North Milwaukee? Is it still a BMW dealership?

                      even though i despise all that is 'dealership', i still have to go there for unobtainium parts. do i have to switch to International?

                        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

                            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.

                                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.

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

                                    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.

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

                                          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.
