Default BMW parts

Looks like I might need some parts for an E46 M3.

Anyone know any OEM discount places for consumables like brake discs and pads.

Also need some secondhand parts like a bootlid in Topaz Blue.

Since this is now PassionBMW, someone must have some good links!

what about german n swedish? I have a pal who has just left working for them as he's back off to Oz

I could ask him to go into G&S and ask for the bits, I'm sure they would do them to him at staff discount as they were fond of him and were sad to lose him as an employee.

Always there to offer you some support Pon

Cheers guys, but I don't want pattern parts - I want OEM at discount.

Plus a secondhand supplier of panels or something similar.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

It's a convertible.

The lock failed on the roof cover panel at motorway speeds, flipped, and smashed into the boot.
