Default BMW Parts / Advice

Hi Guys,

Just a quick second additional intro,

Joined the site having just bought a WRX Blobeye, however the main line of business is BMW,
I work in a Main dealership in Reading on the parts side of things so if there are any owners out there that have a BMW of any kind and wants help with anything from repair advice / instruction to discounted parts as an offer from myself to yourselves then just post below and i'll see what I can do.

Anything from general replacement parts to fitted price special offers on accessories.

Cheers
Dave

This is true BMW do not rebuild these nor offer any internal parts for the rebuilding of them.
if you can get me a Reg or last 7 digits of the chassis number i can see what i can do on a replacement but on an X5 of that year its not going to be cost effective for a new part sadly.

To be fair alternators aren't to cheap through BMW but its nice to have the 2 year warranty with it.
