germanpartsaver-au

Hi all, wondering if anyone has any feedback on the above ebay vendor regarding parts quality etc. They sell a lot of items which are "Bapmic" brand they claim is German but I suspect made in China.
Cheers, badmanners.

DO NOT buy from these guys. I bought a radiator from them only for it to result in poor fitment and a massive radiator leak within 1 week of installation.

I second that!

Lured by fast shipping I made the mistake of buying Bapmic engine mounts from ebay - had them in for 2 weeks or so and the vibration was shocking! Dont buy the garbage unless you like wasting time and money!

Shipping is fast (as expected if you pay the extra for Express), but as others said I am not that confident fitting the Bapmic brand after I had no faster choice for a brake pad change this weekend. The pad sensors work as expected but definitely not a 1:1 copy of the genuine parts. Certainly no worse than other non genuine sensors.

Bapmic might fall into the same class as Vaico and Dorman. I guess it was a small fraction of the cost of the genuine part and a cheap punt to test the waters.

If it's mostly maintenance parts you're after, then give clickable automotive a go.

Their prices are competitive and shipping is also cheap and quick enough.

Hello,
I am new to this forum and BMW's,
If this place is no good.
Can anyone advise on best place to get aftermarket parts for my e90 335. in Australia?
I am particularly after a radiator fan ATM however, i am sure i will need alot more parts.
Or does anyone know if auto-part stores sell universal fans that could fit with the correct wiring plug to go straight in?

Apologies if there is already a thread with this info.
Any help or a kick in the right direction would be great.

Cheers in advance.
