alternate for parts than dealer

I guess I shouldnt have bought a BMW if I was worried about cost of parts but this month money is tight and my car needs an oil service.

So I am trying to track down a new fuel filter for my E36 tds.
Only place i have found is eurocarparts and they are out of stock. Who else caters for the BMW diesel range?

Ordered the tool for resetting service counter and I get a nice trade discount on oil so this service shouldnt break the bank

I've always found GFS (Herman, French & Swedish) very helpful & very reasonable.
Look up the web site for your nearest branch.

GSF every time.

Never rated ECP that much. Too many parts supplied incorrectly and the quality of the cheaper ranges is questionable (and the prices of their OEM stuff is little different from the main dealers I've found).
