I have a few items to buy for my 62 that are hard to find at the usual vendors - at least I haven't found them. I think I may have to go to a dealer for the bushings and links for the rear stabilizer bar on the 62. If I go to a dealer, is it common for any of them (I'm in the Maryland area) to discount parts? I'm a past BMW club member and the dealers used to discount from 15-25% on most parts - it brought their prices right in line. If anyone has any thoughts on where I can buy stock or polyurethane stabilizer bushings and/or complete links, please let me know.
I also need to find rear brake drums and can't seem to do any better than $85. Anyone have a source for rear drums with maybe a better price? I hope to try locally this weekend, but I'm not sure I will do any better. I'm also looking for an end cap for a front bumper (right side). It's an inspection issue and a new one runs $50. Any used bumper caps out there? All I find in the Classifieds are complete bumpers with the bumper caps. I can't afford a bumper upgrade at the moment, so I'm buying time with just the bumper cap.
Any thoughts on where to get any of these items would be very helpful. Thanks.
