  • Your local BMW dealer. Regardless of what you may have heard, some dealers are not put off by gray-market cars, and BMW North America actually stocks some euro-only parts. My local dealer even has a euro parts micro-fische for e21 323i's and has had no problem ordering parts for me. Give it a try!
