Spares?

Apart from BMW direct, can anyone direct me to somewhere I can purchase an intake hose for a 2015 1 series please?

There seems to be loads of websites with it for a fraction of the BMW direct price but they all look a bit dodgy..

Thanks

These are the ones I've used in the past for genuine parts:

• AutoDoc (https://www.autodoc.co.uk)
• LLParts (https://www.lllparts.co.uk/bmw-parts)
• Leebmann24 (https://www.leebmann24.de)
• Schmiedmann (https://www.schmiedmann.com)
• Hubauer-shop (https://www.hubauer-shop.de)

The last 3 I have not tried to use since Brexit, so don't know what their current positions isareon delivery/customs charges.

Excellent, many thanks

You get hit with import/vat on the last three now.

Just got it from autodoc for £26 inc. delivery and a 200 day return option.

It would have been about £50 from BMW so it's a good saving.

Thanks all.

Get your part numbers via www.realoem.com and then search on eBay using "BMW - part number"

Autdoc are good; delivery can take ages

UK tried & trusted resellers I use a lot are C3BMW and BMWmotormec:

https://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/

I personally avoid LLL Parts; they're a pretend UK company actually based out of Latvia; you'll be lucky to see the parts at all - this is through personal experience and other folk I know...

You'll generally find most of what you need via eBay UK; but don't discount your local motorfactors either

Never thought of that! Mat Armstrong!

Unfortunately I've already ordered from autodoc but I'll try to remember Sytner in future, thanks.
