I use BavAuto too but I get most of my stuff from ECS Tuning in Ohio. Their prices are usually on par with most of the main BMW guys and I like their website much better. On the ECS website, if you look up a part (say a heater hose) they're give you several options and show you the supplier for each. So you can pick from Rein, Febi, Genuine BMW or (ick) Uro. They also show how long it'll be to ship (same day if the parts are in stock, they show stock status and keep a ton of things in stock). Most of the other guys don't tell you who the aftermarket part is from, so you might think you're getting something decent like Rein or INA and end up with MTC or Uro.

Lots of guys love GetBMWParts, which is BMW of Silver Spring. Those guys are great if you need a genuine BMW part and can pick it up in person, but if you're ordering something to be shipped us MD folks usually get beat up pretty bad. Shipping can be expensive AND we have to pay tax since it's a MD sale. Most of my orders from them incur at least $20 penalty by the time it's said and done.
