    Doing some searching and not coming up with too many answers. Looking for fuel lines, oil & air filters. Certainly, you're not all buying these from the dealer? Very limited availability online. Where's the secret places? Thanks.

    Beemer Boneyard for anything they have. Max BMW for anything they don't have.

    I have purchased a lot of stuff from both these vendors and they have both been excellent every time.

    No, I don't have any relationship with them other than as a customer - they're both about 2500 miles away.....

    Max BMW really went above and beyond on a recent backordered part for me. Overnighted the part at their cost to get it to me in time for a trip, were great to work with on the phone.

    Thanks guys. Ordered the 12/24k maintenance kit, metal quick disconnects and something else I can't remember from Beemer Boneyard. I did get the discount. Only downside is they are east coast, so I ll have to wait til next week to get the goods. Glad to b digging into the maintenance on this thing. New tires next week after I get all of the oils changed. PIA lights working, Montana hard-wired, cig-lighter adapter in. Getting ready for a solo 4 dayer in October, can't wait.

    Beemer boneyard seems to ship almost instantly. It always shows up quick. I keep forgetting that discount though.

    I call my "local" dealer, Gateway, 3 hours away, and they send me the parts. They're good guys. I bought the bike from them, and the little bit extra it might cost me for the parts is worth it to support them.

    Beemer Boneyard seems to have the best deals. Also, they have certain things packaged together. Pretty helpful. Wish there was an equivalent place out here on the West Coast... The guys at my local dealer are strange. I've checked with them for parts, don't think they are really into the customer service thing too much.

    Yes, it's very convenient. Saves a lot of time when ordering.

    I like Beemer Boneyard but if I just need a few things I use my local dealer.

    They give a 10% discount and avoids shipping charges.

    I wish I had a local dealer that deserves my business, but whenever I go there for parts it seems like I'm inconveniencing them.

    BB, Max and A&S in that order

    BB for most, next A&S if I'm too lazy to go to the store front.

    I'll amend my post. I recently bought two Mahle OX35 oil filters for my airhead. BMW only sells the hinged filters; I just prefer the old straight ones. I bought them off Amazon. $12.61 each, free shipping since I ordered two.
