525ee87 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Hey guys! Purchased a 1987 e28 525ee at the beginning of this year and have been absolutely loving it. I intend to keep her original and want to keep her for as long as possible. Any recommendations on where to get OME parts at reasonable prices? I have been recommended BMparts. Is it worth getting them from overseas on websites such as pelicanparts? Cheers guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted March 30, 2020 Welcome to the forum! I use FCP Euro, Rockauto and Schmiedmann. I've been advised to stay away from Pelican parts by a few people but haven't used them myself. The easiest way I find to get parts is to go to https://carjam.co.nz/ put your rego in, grab you VIN number and then put that into https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select which will give you all the part numbers you need. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beemwr 46 Report post Posted April 9, 2020 e28's seem to be the flavour for this month. A 525ae has been my tow vehicle for the last 8-10 years, the most reliable car I,ve owned, torquey, very frugal on petrol and a great cruising car. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
