Cheaper dealer for parts sales?
I am looking for a replacement sun visor with the integrated garage door opener for my E. The usual parts discounters do not have this part and say that the dealers are my only source. Does anyone know a dealer that discounts parts? I know that there are several BMW dealers that are well known for discounting on parts and many people mail order from them. Thanks.

Why not just buy it from your local dealer?? What are you going to save from a discounter? $5 or $10 bucks?? Whats your time worth and the cost of shipping?

Well if you think I will not save money shopping around for a part that my local dealer wants $480 for, well fine. I have bought parts from dealers in Miami, Los Angeles, and New Jersey at discounts of about 40% compared to the four Atlanta BMW dealers. Thanks for your helpful input.
