Online parts site

[beyondweb]

I need to order some new parts but hate driving to the dealer EVERYTIME, which has been like 10 times in the last 2 weeks, just to figure out what a part is. The parts dept is never a quick trip. Is there a site online that has pics to help me identify what parts are? Where does everyone order their BMW parts?

Right now, I'm trying to figure out these two:

It has many numbers on it, have you tried entering those numbers into pelicans web site search you can search by the part number and it looks as if its on there one of those numbers should be the part number! Good luck! TO me it looks like one of my air flow takes or outflows.

bmwparta is the alternator cooling ductwork. The part with the flexible boot is 12 31 1 735 915, and it clamps to the top of the alternator. The more rigid piece is 12 31 1 730 635, and it connects to the radiator cover.

bmwpartb is the mass air flow sensor attached to the intake boot. The sensor is 13 62 1 703 275. The boot is 13 54 1 740 073. The open end of the sensor looks at the airbox, the open end of the boot faces the ASC+T throttle.

Pelican sells many OEM parts. I have sometimes have trouble with the search engine so if you cant find it I would call.

I would hate to give out other parts sites in this forum. But, I can honestly say, that after thoroughly researching prices on my last 10+ parts purchased, "Pelican Parts beat competitors prices by a good margin on almost all of the parts I needed."
