120k OEM OES Parts Service ~ Which are the best parts to use?

Hello Gents,

I was wondering what is the best replacement parts to use when making a repair on MBZ's. I am not sure to use after market or OEM, or OES Parts? I am up for the 120k on my c220 and was wondering what are the best plugs, wires, filters , belts oil ect... Also what kind of service should a 120k consist of? If any of you had 120k services or did them yourself what did you service and change.

Thanks
Joe

OEM/OES parts are best.... just don't buy them from the d(st)ealers. OEM & OES are pretty much the same in my opinion. My favorite reference link: www.impotec.com Cheapest Site (even cheaper than www.thepartsbin.com & www.bimmerzone.com) with Free shipping for orders over $50 and NO TAX (unless you're in Texas). Even better if you are in the Bay Area, you get it next day ground (distribution center in SF).

I only go to the d(st)ealers if they don't have it online. I have to get transmission oil this week from those d(st)ealers. Darn it!

Good Luck!

No Problem. They carry like 90% OEM or OES parts that I bought so far.

Good Luck!

I buy all my parts online. All OEM. I bought the coil ends at the dealer only because I needed them right then. I have to suck it up and buy the wiring harness there too, but nothing else.
