Source for used BMW parts
Hey all - need a seat switch for my E39. Most parts for this car are fairly reasonable, but this switch is like $240. Figure I can roll the dice on a used one, but I have no idea who to call. Anyone know of a good reputable parts recycler, like EASY or PartsHeaven in the Porsche world?

Well I bought a shift linkage assembly for my BMW...Local stealership wanted $1220 new; Atlanta dealer wanted $480 (fair)...bought it used and in perfect working order for $75.
YMMV

Denis and Jim, you're both right. I searched eBay and the nicest ads/parts/prices were....Vines Automotive. So I called them up and they had everything I needed except for my ///M-Sport steering wheel (just missed one). Reasonable prices, and the nicest guy helped me out on the phone. Thanks for the recommendation.

German Auto Recylcers in Baton Rouge. Brian and Reagan have great prices.
