Gday everyone, introducing myself here on the forum. Ive recently acquired this beast of a car however it is throwing a 30ff code which has been diagnosed as the wastegates. Im just wondering where everyone sources parts from? Im new to the bmw world but have wanted one ever since i drove one for the first time when i was 15. Mainly after the consumable parts that i need when removing the subframe and turbos, exhaust manifold gaskets, studs, the bolts im meant to replace when disconnected the steering components(name evaded my mind)

Any help is much appreciated 

Planning on tackling the job over my Christmas break when i can leave my car in the factory in bits

realoem.com fcpeuro.com & ecstuning.com are your friends :) If you're on faceballs - "BMW 130i owners unite" is a great resource as well. 

Nice car, I was tempted for a bit to buy it and parts rob for mine!

Spareto.com has nearly all the same parts as ECS and FCP however spareto's shipping is usually more realistic.

I think the build thread for that car is on here somewhere. Should be good fun.
