Our online catalog was designed to help you find the BMW part you need quickly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can order the parts you need even when we're not around to take your call. We also wanted to make sure you couldn't order the wrong part by mistake. To accomplish this we built a special feature that lets you shop by BMW year and model. Tell us which BMW you're shopping for and we'll show you only the parts that fit, (plus the parts that fit every model, such as wheel cleaner). That way, there's no chance you can mistakenly order a gasket for a 1980 528i when you drive a 1997 528i.

At Bavarian Autosport, if you leave our site for any reason--even if your ISP drops your connection--and there are parts in your cart, we'll save the contents for 30 days. Just log back in and go to "my cart"--your parts will be there waiting for you. Remember -- to take advantage of this feature, you must set up an account (if you don't already have one) and log in.

This site is secure for shopping. All orders submitted to us online are encrypted, making the theft of credit card numbers during transmission virtually impossible.

  Shipping hazardous materials. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) strictly prohibits air shipments of items that contain certain amounts of aerosols or flammable materials (e.g. paint). As a result, a few of the products we sell must be shipped via ground carrier -- at no point on their journey from our warehouse to your house are these items allowed on a plane. Because of this, these products are offered for sale only in the 48 contiguous United States and Canada. There are no exceptions! If you place an order that contains one of these items, and the requested delivery method involves any form of air shipping, we will contact you and let you know when and how the item(s) in your order will be shipped.

Wherever you see this symbol exceptions to the standard shipping and handling charges apply.

We sell almost every part BMW has made since 1967, including parts for the new MINI. The only parts we don't sell are those that are too difficult or hazardous to ship, (e.g. windshields, batteries, complete engines, etc.). Our three-story warehouse is stocked to the rafters with more than 400,000 of the most popular BMW and MINI parts. This huge inventory allows us to fill and ship the vast majority of orders the day we receive them.

Sometimes, people need parts that we don't stock. In most of those instances we are able to either drop-ship the part directly to you from one of our suppliers, or bring it into our warehouse and ship it to you within a couple of days. (Obviously, items that are coming from Europe take a little longer.) Orders for parts we do not stock are considered "special orders." Special orders must be prepaid and are non-returnable.

Remember: WE SELL EVERYTHING for your BMW or MINI. If for some reason you can't find what you're looking for on this web site, that doesn't mean we don't have it -- give us a call at 800.535.2002, ext. 5, or e-mail us at sales@bavauto.com.
